This week, I would like you to dig deep in trying to recognize the purpose of internships. Who benefits from internships? How do organizations benefit? How do you benefit? Who is marginalized through the institutionalization of internships? Do internships grant opportunities or take them away? Should internships be paid? Think critically about the role of internships in society. Internships do not only happen in sport, but are a key component of sport organizations ability to maximize profit. What do you think maximizing profit does to the individual?

Talk a little bit about your experience so far. Have you enjoyed your job? Is it what you expected? Are your bosses treating you fairly? Have you encountered a situation you were not prepared for? Do you have any advice for handling awkward situations? Feel free to discuss whatever you want (related to your internship of course). Also, feel free to ask me any questions you may have that you think might benefit the entire group.
