N.C. students seek design internships
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 28, 2004
Greensboro, N.C. — Interior architecture undergraduates at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro are seeking design internships in the residential and contract furnishings industries.
"We have a burgeoning department focus on the design of products such as furniture and small related objects," said Tommy Lambeth, chairman of the Interior Architecture Department at UNCG. "Students are eager to apply their creative and conceptual skills in product design — as well as space planning — for a gamut of environments, be they retail, residential or institutional."
Advanced undergrads usually take an internship position for one semester during the school year or one summer. Most seek paying internships and work about 200 hours in a semester.
In November, UNCG trus-tees approved the department's new Center for Innovation, to be devoted to the development of products, materials and technological applications for the home and office. The department, part of the School of Human Environmental Sciences, offers a five-year professional degree program.
