Employer Guidance for Non Remote/Partial Remote Summer 2020 Internships
Students, please be aware CUNY has offered guidance to summer 2020 internships that are facilitated, funded, or directly connected by campus staff. This is consistent with the assumption of risk/waiver that is part of the Domestic Travel Policy. If you are, or will be, completing a non remote/partial remote work internship please review CUNY's guidance.
