It’s a great way for students to showcase their talents and abilities in a unique way. Because our MBA students have undergraduate degrees in a variety of fields that include Engineering, Communications, Business, Agriculture, Computer Science, and Supply Chain, you will surely find someone who fits your staffing needs.

The Education Career Fair is an opportunity for teaching graduates to network and interview with school districts from Mississippi and surrounding areas to secure teaching positions for the upcoming school year.
The Externship program will be conducted from March 13-17, 2023, during Spring Break.
Over the years your support of the Externship has proven a valuable experience for our students and has evolved from merely a shadowing program to a one-week internship. Recent changes to the AXP and the requirements to gain an NCARB Certificate, along with growing concerns about equity in the workplace have encouraged us to request that future Externships follow one of three models:
1. Students are to be paid the hourly minimum wage of the state in which the work is conducted for the entire time of the Externship.
2. Students can be paid a stipend that is the equivalent of the state hourly minimum wage for 40 hours.
3. Students will not be paid, but the opportunity must be purely shadowing in which students do not perform any work for the firm.
We realize that not all architecture firms have work appropriate to students participating in a paid one-week internship. However, we hope that you realize the capabilities of our students at all levels, and the importance of gaining AXP hours, which is only allowed for paid internship experiences per NCARB requirements. Examples of work in which our students can assist include:
1st year students – model building, hand drawing, basic skills in Adobe Creative Suite programs (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), materials library organizing, answering the office phone, taking messages for fellow employees, and using these experiences to better understand how an architecture firm is organized and works
2nd year students – all of the above plus collaborating with architecture and construction professionals, using Google SketchUp, using Autodesk AutoCAD, more developed skills in Adobe Creative Suite programs
3rd year students – all of the above plus using Autodesk Revit, using Rhinoceros, material selections for projects, elementary construction assembly detailing, discussions on structural systems selection, more developed skills in using Autodesk AutoCAD, very developed skills in Adobe Creative Suite programs
4th year students – three years of experience collaborating with architecture and construction professionals, more developed skills in Autodesk Revit, well developed sense of the collaborative nature of design tools such as hand drawing, hand modeling, AutoCAD, Revit, and the Adobe Creative Suite programs, more developed construction assembly detailing skills
Based on the above information please indicate the minimum experience level appropriate to the needs of your firm.
Each year we present to the student body a list of architecture firms that have confirmed their commitment to participating in the Externship program. The students select their top three firms, ranking them in order from 1-3. In the past, we chose which students were placed at each participating architecture firm, striving to place the students in their #1 choice. When multiple students selected the same architecture firm, we placed the student with more seniority first and gave the younger student a backup choice for their Externship location. This year we would like to leave selection up to each architecture firm in the event of this issue. We will provide a copy of the resume and portfolio for each student that has selected your architecture firm as their #1 desired location in which to participate. This may not occur, but in the event that it does we want all architecture firms to know the new procedure for Externship placement.
We hope you are as excited as we are about these enhancements to the Externship program. Thank you for your time and interest and feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Alexis Gregory, AIA
Associate Professor, Externship Coordinator
