<p>[Penn</a> State Career Services](<a href=“http://www.sa.psu.edu/career/intake.shtml]Penn”>http://www.sa.psu.edu/career/intake.shtml)
PSU does have a general career office - has he stopped by? I would encourage him to have an appt and ask how he can be hooked up with alumni.<br>
Seems like certain schools at PSU run specific career services (internships, full time jobs) - business, IST, Science. They invite companies to interview on campus and hook their students up. For business, they’re not particularly helpful until junior year though.
I guess it would be hard for the school to maintain relationships with small institutions like hospitals and foundations. So they ask kids to locate opportunities on their own. I guess you could argue that it’s good for kids to find their own internships - but things are so competitive these days that it would help to at least have some contacts! Ask them for some help finding alums…</p>
