SPECIAL PROJECT

Briefly describe what you did for your special project. (One to two pages) The special project is designed to be a contribution you will make to the agency. It should go beyond your typical daily tasks and duties for the organization; an idea you come up with that will be useful to the agency; a manual, brochure, or special program you design would be approved.. Running a tournament that has been part of the agency's existing programs is not a special project. The special project MUST BE APPROVED by the KSU supervisor no later than the 8th week of the internship and prior to starting it. After the special project is completed, a one-page report describing the planning, implementing, and final product (i.e., were you happy with the final outcome?) is completed.
