Internship opportunity for Fall 2017 at a Chicago City College

DePaul students are currently eligible and being offered an internship opportunity at Chicago City Colleges. The internship is a great opportunity to work with an excellent instructor who specializes in technology and writing. The class is a hybrid face-to-face and on-line class. It will meet for three hours once a week, and the rest of the work is on-line. The instructor is experienced and knowledgeable; working with her would be an education in on-line teaching. If you would like to learn more about this or other two-year college teaching opportunities, please contact: Carolyn Goffman: cgoffman@depaul.edu.
