Take this Virtual Internship Survey!

If you participated in an internship, co-op, or experiential learning opportunity (collectively, an “internship”) at the time CUNY transitioned to distance learning in March 2020 or in summer 2020, please take this survey! The purpose of this survey is to learn more about your internship experience during the pandemic. We expect the survey to take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

This survey is being conducted by the Office of Research, Evaluation, and Program Support (REPS) within the Office of Academic Affairs at CUNY (www.cuny.edu/evaluation). Your answers will be kept confidential and will only be accessible by REPS researchers. Data will only be reported in the aggregate and individual responses will not be shared with program staff or internship host sites.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Joseph Saitta at joseph.saitta@cuny.edu
