Praxis Internship Incentive
Smith has an excellent internship incentive program called Praxis which provides one stipend per student (only once during their enrollment) to partake in any internship they choose, ranging from local opportunities to places abroad. The stipend has ranged yearly from $2,000 and more (more being allocated for traveling abroad) and has given students the opportunity to partake in internships otherwise unpaid and therefore usually not as accessible for those who need to work during their breaks. Praxis has allowed students to broaden their experiences during their summers and has given employers the incentive to take on Smithies who do no require payment for their services. The college also has a Career Development Office which keeps binders of information of former Praxis applicants and employers with descriptions of their experiences to allow for future applicants to explore areas already seen by other Smithies or to give them ideas for new internship locations.
