The intern will research, collect, and interpret data, work with management to develop a website strategy and collect and interpret metrics, organize meetings and special events, and coordinates public-relations activities. The position requires an undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline and coursework leading to a graduate degree–law and/or business is preferred.

The position would be a good fit for someone interested in technology commercialization, entrepreneurship, venture capital, and/or economic development.
