2022 ADI Summer Internship Program

General information and expectations for all internships

  • Internship length is approximately eight weeks. Interns will work 30-40 hours per week, depending on availability, and pay $18 an hour. Housing is not provided.
  • Interns will be expected to engage in regular group interactions with their peers and in weekly program luncheons that feature guest speakers from Cornell’s administration. The guest speakers will provide in-depth and behind-the-scenes insight into University operations. At the end of the summer, the program will bring everyone together for a showcase event. All interns will provide a five-minute presentation on their projects and overall experience, along with a written executive summary, to senior leadership.
  • Interns are a part of a community beyond the ADI Summer Internship program. Interns are expected to contribute positively to the Cornell community and conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to a professional environment. Interns will be expected to fully participate during normal office hours.
  • Multicultural competence is highly valued. As a diverse institution that welcomes students from all over the world, Cornell recognizes and honors diversity among all staff. Underrepresented minorities and disabled students are strongly encouraged to apply.
