Internship / Job Opportunities for Students

Do you have information about an internship or permanent employment opportunity that you would love to see filled by an FSUBusiness student?

Alumni and friends are invited to promote internships and employment opportunities to our College of Business students. Alums and employers should use the following procedures to advertise their opportunities to students:

1. Employers should contact the College and provide information about the internship opportunity and/or employment opportunity (accounting, management, human resources, finance, marketing, small business, or economics). Contact Dr. Ahmad Tootoonchi, Interim Dean, at 301.687.4740 or tootoonchi@frostburg.edu to discuss the internship or career opportunity you would like to share with students.
   
2. The College will publicize appropriate opportunities through campus email, class announcements, job postings, etc.
   
3. If academic credit is requested for an internship, the appropriate department chair will have to approve the internship before an announcement can be made.
   
4. Alums and employers may register to view online student resumes through FSU’s College Central. Alums and employers may also schedule campus visits or make contact with students through the University's Office of Career Services.

Business/Alumni/Student Mentoring Program

The Business/Alumni/Student Mentoring Program (BASM) brings students and mentors together to enhance the learning environment through the understanding and experience of mentors. FSUBusiness is looking for business people and alumni to serve as mentors.

What does mentoring Involve?

• A mentor acts as an educator, coach, and resource to the business world.
• Mentor and student will usually interact via e-mail, exchanging short messages, questions/answers, and advice.

Who should consider becoming a mentor?

• Are you still excited about and proud of your career?
• Have you learned valuable lessons you would like to share?
• Do you have 14-16 hours to devote to a student over an 8-month period (that equates to only 2 hours or less per month)?
• Do you enjoy helping others succeed?
• If all of these are true of you, then YOU are who we are looking for!

What are the goals?

• Students will receive one-to-one advice, support, and guidance on the transition from college to the business world from someone with experience.
• Students will expand the learning experience beyond the classroom.
• Students will be able to ask questions about the business world in a secure environment.
• Students and mentors will have FUN!

How will I be matched with a student?

• Mentors will fill out a student preference form to ensure a good match.
