Hi Austin and Wolfe! Attached is a current draft of a document you can share with your students about the internship opportunity. Do either of you have any suggestions/revisions? 

Here's a video a college intern made a while back about their trip to Flagstaff Hut. 

Anything else you need from MH&T to get the word out? --A

Some notes from today!

Compensation / Cost-Sharing 
- There is a difference between a UMF/ORBA student doing a "summer job" 
- If they are part of the UMF Pre-Professional program, they are eligible for up to $3,000 for "unpaid, low-paid, or seasonal" job opportunities.
- $20/hr at 20hrs per week Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. 

Potential projects
- Wabanaki engagement/cultural preservation - Environmental Policy/Planning GIS
- Organizational Carbon Neutrality - Benchmarking
- Trail/Bridge evaluation between Flagstaff and Grand Falls Hut 
- Mtn biking / trail use surveys

HRS / Credits
~210-240 hours, supporting students up to 6-7 credits

Timing
- Interns tend to secure internships in January
- Start date ~June 10th, end date ~Sept 8

Everyone imagines a positive future of UMF-Maine Huts partnerships! 
Andy will make a promotional one-pager about the opportunity once Wolfe approves the concept. 

THANK YOU!

Hi Austin, now that you and I are back from our breaks can we find a time to check in about the Maine Huts internship? I'm copying Wolfe here as well. Let us know a few times later this week or next that work for you! Many thanks, --Andy
