Muncie INtern Collaborative is a 12-week program, running from early-June through early-August, is designed to help your summer interns fall in love with your company and the city of Muncie. Internships can be a powerful way to attract top talent and determine the right fits for your organization.

Any organization or company (nonprofit or for-profit) with one or more summer interns is invited to participate.

Or contact James Mitchell at 765-285-1522 or jmitchell@bsu.edu.

Don’t have an intern program?
Ball State University’s Career Center can help you get one started. Visit bsu.edu/careers.

We partnered with Ball State University, Shafer Leadership Academy, Muncie-Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, and the Muncie-Delaware County Economic Development Alliance to provide professional development, social events, and volunteer opportunities to help summer interns connect with one another and learn more about our community. We do the planning; you reap the rewards!
