University Relations Summer Internship
University Relations (UR) is seeking diverse, capable, and accountable students to advance the Notre Dame mission by completing resume-worthy projects, enjoying a mission-based community, and maximizing professional development. UR Interns work alongside top advancement professionals in dynamic teams to complete meaningful work that transforms the Notre Dame community. This intern program has taken place successfully both in-person and remotely. This summer, the internship will reflect the current work reality of UR employees, whether that be remote or back on campus.
Interns earn competitive financial compensation and are a close cohort who have weekly professional development sessions. Throughout the summer, the cohort will have team building immersions and will join other university advancement interns for an annual national CASE Intern Conference.
Interns complete resume-worthy projects that align with their major and specific area of interest. A few department interns in 2025 may work in Annual Giving, Storytelling, Data Management, Athletics Advancement, or Alumni Association. REVIEW PREVIOUS INTERN PROJECTS HERE.
