Practicum Supervisors

Interested in supervising an iSchool field project student?

We welcome new field project locations for our students!

The practicum requirement gives students the opportunity to integrate and apply the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind they have learned in the classroom in a real-world and mentored work setting.

Benefits to your information agency:

• To see the start or completion of a project done by highly-skilled individuals
• A chance for you and your institution to give back to the community
• An opportunity to mentor, train, and guide future information professionals
• Witness fresh perspectives and exposure to new ideas
• A potential talent pipeline to your organization
