<p>well, Grinnell College which is decidedly NOT known for a preprofessional feel, offers not only assistance with internship placements and identification, but its own programs and funding for students to pursue them. Here are a few from the website:
“The Grinnell-in-Washington DC Program combines academic work with internship opportunities in the center of the U.S. government, with its wealth of political, non-governmental, and cultural institutions” [Grinnell</a> in Washington - Grinnell-in-Washington | Grinnell College](<a href=“http://www.grinnell.edu/academic/giw]Grinnell”>http://www.grinnell.edu/academic/giw)</p>
<p>It has the Wilson Program for Enterprise and Leadership, with internships in Iowa during the school year and grants for summer internships all around the world. [Donald</a> L.

<p>The Rosenfield Program in Public Affairs, International Relations and Human Rights “provides stipends to about 12 students to pursue summer internships in the United States or abroad, focusing on issues of public affairs, international relations, and human rights.”

<p>Grinnell has its own version of the Peace Corps, in which it funds a year of post-graduate work in service in another country!

<p>As I said, most LACs will offer internship advising, placement and programs. Grinnell has one of the highest per-student endowments in the entire country, and therefore has alot of funding for internship opportunities, but NO, the campus does not have a preprofessional feel! It is an intellectual, academic place, but filled with students who want to make their mark on the world!</p>
