Psychology students land exciting internships

May 08, 2018

Lake Forest College psychology students have had great experiences at a variety of internship sites this year, including inpatient and outpatient clinical programs, school psychology programs, and addiction treatment programs.

“As a senior I wanted to gain as much experience as I could before graduating, so I opted for a two-credit internship,” explains Haley Rainwater ’18. “Interning at the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center taught me so much and led me to pursue a path in advocacy. I will forever be thankful for the experiences that I had.”
