CAMP Scholar Internship Program (CSI)

CSI is a collaboration with University Housing & Dining Services. The program combines leadership training with hands-on and practical intern experience during the academic year. CSIs work in specific UHDS units. The internship consists of ten hours of work, including meetings and other active program experiences, which will provide an opportunity for the CSIs to develop and practice skills that help them succeed as students and community members of Oregon State University and meet the learning outcomes of the program.

The CSI program is an additional program associated with CAMP. The benefits include a partial room grant (estimated value between $8,370 - $9,810 dependent on chosen hall), individualized mentorship, leadership training, and professional development. To apply to this program, you will need to complete question five of the CAMP application as well as a sign the UHDS Terms and Agreement.
