Internship success at the Centre for New Zealand Studies
30/06/2009
Richmond students who have participated in the University Internship Program at The Centre for New Zealand Studies (CNZS) have now been recognised on the Birkbeck, University of London website!
Over the past few years, the Richmond International Internship Office has developed an excellent working relationship with The Centre for New Zealand Studies. Since 2007, CNZS have hosted student interns from Richmond, who have become part of their staff, working in support of the regular events and activities, and in disseminating the Centre's resources via the website. Each student was with the centre for twelve weeks, with their work assessed and graded as part of Richmond's Internship program. The Centre's website states that the work produced by the students below was impressive and significant and has helped greatly in addressing the resources held by the Centre.
