Dear Colleagues,

The Oregon Space Grant Consortium is pleased to announce the Spring 2023 Oregon Internship Opportunity Network (OrION) call for internship proposals. 

We are accepting proposals from faculty for 10-week, half-time (20 hrs/week) funded undergraduate spring internships. Women, underserved and underrepresented groups in STEM, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to participate.

Mentors may be OSU faculty or faculty from other member institutions. Mentors must be committed to guiding and encouraging students through this process, which may be the student’s first research experience.

DEADLINE FOR FULL CONSIDERATION: Wednesday, March 1, 2023

We know this is a tight turnaround and may be difficult to achieve. In light of that, we will continue receiving submissions for spring internships of prorated length as long as funds are available. 

To find the submission form and to learn more, visit our faculty information page.

Students filling these funded internships must be selected from the pool of students who have applied to the OrION program. Please direct students to our student information page for additional information and to submit an application. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send them to me! You can also join us on Zoom tomorrow (Feb. 23) from 1–3 p.m. during our virtual office hours.

We are eager to continue building the OrION database of student opportunities, and we look forward to receiving your submissions! We encourage you to share this opportunity broadly to your colleagues and students.
