What Is the A&F Student Internship Program?
The Administration and Finance (A&F) Student Internship Program aims to provide meaningful and engaging work experience for GT undergraduate students. Students will gain valuable insight into the workplace and develop well-defined skills to prepare them for full-time opportunities at GT and beyond. Each internship will allow GT undergraduate students to actively participate in the advancement of the services, systems, and programs within A&F through a project-based internship with measurable deliverables and ongoing feedback opportunities.
This program strategically aligns with the vision and values of the five-year Administration and Finance Strategic Plan and the Georgia Tech Strategic Plan. By enabling transformative learning experiences to help students grow as creative, ethical, globally aware, and technologically sophisticated leaders, the program seeks to amplify the impact our students have in the world. Through this program, students will collaborate and partner with the campus community to effectively pilot and translate learning opportunities into real-world applications.

What Students Are Saying About the Program
Working with A&F in this internship program, definitely gave me a more holistic view of what it means to help out units that make up GT and its administrative purposes. The work that we’ve done in this internship program this past summer has opened my eyes to the possibilities that students can have to assist a community that goes beyond what we see, for example, late-night shift units and other units under A&F. It’s also shown me the importance of working in a team with a shared goal because with that shared goal, one is able to accomplish things that are near impossible alone.
Uchenna Godwin-Offor, Marketing and Design Student Intern
What I have enjoyed about the internship thus far is that everyone has been communicative and welcoming, resulting in me genuinely feeling like I am a part of the team at the Administrative Shared Services Center. I feel like I can ask questions consistently through Teams or emails if I need help or clarification on my assignments. I enjoy getting to interact with everyone on my team and outside of my team.
