CCE Summer Interns are required to write weekly blog entries using the Cornell Blog Service- which uses the WordPress platform.  The weekly blogs are a tool used to showcase the interns talents while also create an online record of their summer accomplishments. Highlights from the students blogs are shared with funders, decision-makers, faculty and staff looking to host interns, and other Cornell students looking for a meaningful internship with CCE.

Blogging Expectations (for students):

• The interns are required to maintain a blog of their summer experiences
• We suggest a weekly update​/entry (include pictures when available!)
• Highlight weekly achievements, data, thoughts, etc.
• Blog posts/entries don’t need to be too long.  A 150 word paragraph is recommended to keep blogs clean and easy to navigate

Blogging Guidance (for faculty/mentors):

• Encourage interns to post weekly updates/entries (remember to include photos!)
• Remind interns that the blogs can be used as a tool to prepare for the fall CCE Internship Reception and Poster session
• Blogs are viewed by the CCE Director and used as a tool to connect with decision-makers, potential funders, university officials, etc.
