Challenge</b></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Dear Colleague,</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center
would like to inform you about an internship program we are offering
for summer 2011, and encourage your institution to help us notify
students about this opportunity.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The Life Sciences Internship Challenge is
a workforce development program focused on enhancing the talent
pipeline for Massachusetts life sciences companies. The program will
provide and fund summer 2011 internships for around 170 students or
recent graduates who are considering career opportunities in the life
sciences. Host companies will commit to providing a dedicated
mentor and meaningful internship opportunity that relates to the
academic focus of eligible students. Studies have shown the value and
necessity of providing students with internships in the field of life
sciences, and we hope that this opportunity to explore a career path
will enhance the students' academic training.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Last year's Internship Challenge was
met with extraordinary success, with 170 students representing 47
different colleges and universities placed in paid internships at 94
companies across Massachusetts. The Center will once again be
collecting applications from eligible students and organizing them in
an online database accessible through our website. Companies that
register with us to host interns will be granted access to review
applications and be instructed to contact students directly for
interviews. The Center is offering to reimburse companies with 100 or
less employees for intern stipends of up to $15 per hour for up to 12
weeks for students selected through the program.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Any student enrolled in a Massachusetts
college or university is eligible to apply, provided that they meet

attend(ed) a 4-year college or university, you must have or will
complete(d) at least your sophomore year the semester before the

graduate student, you must have or will complete(d) your Master's

<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
