f Other internshipsOther internships Fermilab Internship in Physics of Accelerators

and Related Technology for International Students (PARTI)  AKA “The Russians” – aimed at students from former

Soviet Union Applications closed and mentors assigned. In the future, contact Sasha Shemyakin or Sasha

Valishev “The Italians”: summer internships in both

Engineering (contact Emanuela Barzi) Physics (contact Giorgio Bellettini)

Mentor Round Up

f GeneralGeneral Interns are matched with a mentor/project

prior to coming (or even prior to the offer being made).

Students are paid a stipend plus travel and lodging expenses.

Generally, some sort of report is expected at the end of the term (a paper and/or presentation).

f Mentor/project guidelinesMentor/project guidelines Projects should be well-defined and have a

realistic scope Remember, these are undergrads! Ideally, scope should be scalable, depending on the

student. In general, projects involving hardware tend to

work out the best, although software projects can work out if they are well designed: Bad to have students spend the summer “thinking

about something” or simply running software. Mentors must be willing to devote time to this:

Some students need more supervision than others. Assume the worst!

Be sure you have a backup if you will be traveling.

Mentor Round Up

f Some improvements this yearSome improvements this year Carol Angarola has streamlined process with

HR for IPM and Lee Teng Won’t need to apply twice any more

I plan to make arrangements with CD to streamline standard computer accounts (Kerberos principle and account on Fermi domain) A common complaint last year

Plan to have a mentor orientation meeting some time before the summer.
