Partnering to Support Early Care Students through SUNY Paid Internship Program

We are pleased to share that five of our Early Care and Education students are currently being supported by SUNY’s Early Childhood Worker Paid Internship Program to complete their internship at the Richard M. Guon Child Care Center at the Brighton Campus.  Through this funding, the students are compensated for, on average, approximately 20 hours per week, as they complete required internship hours in their programs of study.  Anne Barker, Director of the Child Care Center, and Lena Shiao, Associate Professor in the Department of Education and Human Services, worked closely with Carolyn Hunt, Director of Strategic Resource Development and Grant Management, to secure these funds to support our students.

All five students are successfully completing their paid internships, while learning valuable career-related knowledge and skills, while also supporting our on-campus child care center in fostering the development of young minds. Please join us in celebrating this mutually beneficial opportunity and partnership.
