Internship Program
Tips for Completing Your Application
- Due to heightened national security concerns, some positions may not be available to non-U.S. Citizens. Most positions require a background check. If your are concerned that this will affect your eligibility, please contact Guy Lapsley, Guy_Lapsley@nps.gov, or Michael Tomlan, mat@cornell.edu.
- Download the most current version of Adobe Acrobat. This will allow you to save the information that you enter into the PDF form.
- Do not submit a separate application for each position. Simply indicate multiple positions on your application form.
- If you need to convert your transcripts into PDF form and do not have access to Adobe Acrobat Professional, make use of a free online PDF creator: https://www.pdfonline.com/convert_pdf.asp
- You may also combine the files using the free PDF creator. Name the file [your last name]_fall08.pdf or [your last name]_sum09.pdf, according to the term for which you are applying.
- Do not submit materials other than those
requested (i.e. no portfolio, resume, or writing
sample is required).
- If you are submitting your application via "snail mail", do not staple materials (this makes them difficult for our staff to scan).
- To inquire about the status of your application and for any other questions regarding the internship porgram, you may contact the PreserveNet Staff directly at preservenet@cornell.edu.
