Business & Leadership Intern Program (BLIP) - Part-time

The Business & Leadership Intern Program (BLIP) is designed for students that have a desire to learn business and leadership skills in a High Performance Organization (HPO). Acceptance into this intern program is open to all students who are enrolled in a Bachelor’s Program.
