Undergraduate students maintain a noticeable presence at CYC as employees, pre-service classroom participants, and interns. Teachers display photos of these students and information about their work/placement schedules in the classrooms. All contribute in significant ways toward realizing the CYC’s mission and to the most effective functioning of each classroom.

Family Science Interns
FMSC 477 “Internship and Analysis in Family Science” students have chosen to complete their 120 hour internship (required for graduation) at CYC. They have identified ways in which a CYC placement can best help them integrate the theories and practices of their discipline with their future career objectives. Their duties can include interacting with children, supervising small groups of children, as well as working on special projects that enable them to accomplish personal goals. This is a semester-long placement.
