Dear Social Work Field Directors:
We have had some students express interest in being part of a political campaign as their social work internship. I am wondering if anyone has any policies they are able to share around internship in a political campaign? Advice? We are trying to get a sense of what others are doing in this area to think best through these requests. We are a public university so have internal follow up to do as well.
Thank you for any help you can provide!
