UWSP
requires all Land Use Planning undergraduate students to earn credits
in an internship experience. Students can search all College of Natural
Resources internship programs here. The
goal of this internship is to gain valuable professional and practical
experience in the field of land use planning. This internship will
primarily be done in their junior year of college. This is a wonderful
opportunity for students and potential employers alike.
Examples
of intern projects include: assembling and analyzing data for the
required comprehensive planning elements such as issues and
opportunities and the agricultural and natural resources element,
preparing educational pieces important to a planning and/or zoning
office, or helping with enforcement and inspection of zoning and other
ordinances.
Local officials interested in hiring an intern should plan for necessary funding in the budget cycle and contact Dr. Anna Haines, Ph.D., at 715-346-2386.
