Hello Hanley undergraduate advisors!
The UHLI Internships are live – please encourage your students to watch the December webinar now posted on the application website (you can watch it too!!!)
The deadline for submitting applications is February 16, 2024
Here is a suggested mailing – please adapt as you see fit:
Paid Summer Internships for Students with Strong Connections to Maine
The Hanley Center’s summer Undergraduate Healthcare Leadership Internship (UHLI) Program has been designed to connect undergraduates with paid experiential summer internship opportunities in health and healthcare sites across Maine.
The internships and application can be found at:
We strongly encourage you to watch the informational webinar at the bottom of the page. Please check this website regularly as more internships may be added.
I would like you to share a couple of important thoughts with your students as you discuss these opportunities: 1) We ask that students meet with and discuss their applications with their advisors. Please make sure that they have read the Hanley website and thought about and address the mission of Hanley Center in their applications. We will have so many qualified applicants that students who do not demonstrate a strong connection to the state of Maine are unlikely to be considered. 2) Over the last few years, we had a couple of students who reneged after accepting a position at one of our sites, and as a result we lost internships. If a student receives an offer, and commits to that offer, we expect that they will withdraw any other applications they have outstanding for the summer of 2023. 3) Please make sure your students follow all directions. We ask that materials be uploaded as .pdf files. It is up to the students to ensure that their letter writer submits their letter, so they should ask early. 4) As this opportunity is paid, students may NOT ask the site for academic credit for their internships. 5) Encourage your students to consider sites outside of Portland, Maine. Portland sites invariably have the most applications and are the most competitive. 6) Students should NOT directly contact an internship site unless the site reaches out to them. Students MUST apply through the Hanley website. All questions should be directly to myself (seth....@gmail.com) or Kaitlynn Moloney (kmol...@hanleyleadership.org
And as always, please let me know if there are others who should receive this email. I will reach out shortly with a time and location for the selection meeting – if you are interested in joining the selection committee this year, please let me know.
Seth
