From now until the end of March, we will be highlighting various funds and summer internships available to students! Through the generous support of alumni and friends, Lawrence students are eligible to apply for funding to support summer internships or projects.
Linda Harris Mimms Fund for Serious Mental Illness Advocacy Internships
The LINDA HARRIS MlMMS FUND FOR SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS ADVOCACY INTERNSHIPS was established in 2019 by Linda Harris Mimms. Linda is a member of the Lawrence University Class of 1979 who earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in anthropology. She also holds a Masters Degree in Public Policy from the Duke University Sanford School. Linda is an advocate for reform in public policy, law, insurance and treatment protocols for serious mental illnesses and neurobiological brain disorders.
The LINDA HARRIS MlMMS FUND FOR SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS ADVOCACY INTERNSHIPS will provide Lawrence University students with summer internship opportunities at an organization working towards improved treatment of individuals with serious mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and major depression. This fund will offer Lawrence students a distinctive experiential learning opportunity.
The interns will be chosen through a competitive application and selection process. This process will be conducted on an annual basis by the Center for Career, Life, and Community Engagement (CLC) staff in collaboration with others on campus. Recipients are expected to comply with all conditions of their offer letter and be an active participant in the funding process, including, but not limited to, presenting a final reflection paper and formally thanking the donor.
