Dear International Student Services,

 

On September 29 a Disney representative will be visiting your campus(es) to
recruit students for participation in the Disney Theme Parks and Resorts
College Program.  

 

There are 2 presentations on your campus on Sept. 29. They are scheduled
for:

12:00 noon and 5:00 pm in the Memorial Student Center-Rio Grande Room.
Sharon Fulkerson is the contact person on your campus who is coordinating
these presentations.

 

In the past it has been very difficult for international students to
participate in this exciting academic internship program. However, that is
all changing as Disney has developed a simplified process to work with
partner universities here and abroad for hiring international students.
These students, many of whom are here on J1 visas, are now eligible to
incorporate a Disney internship semester into their program of study in the
U.S. as long as they are able to maintain full-time student status for the
duration of the program.  

 

There is much more information available to both yourself and your students
on the Disney College Program website:
<http://www.disneycollegeprogram.com/> www.disneycollegeprogram.com

 

I have attached 2 documents to this email that will futher explain Disney's
process of offering internships to international students. One of the
documents is a FAQ for international students...the other document is a
procedural checklist of how the process work. Many schools are emailing the
FAQ document to their international student population with a note attached
informing them of the date and time of the on-campus Disney presentation.

 

For international students studying in the U.S. on F1 visas, the process for
obtaining OPT and CPT remains the same.  These students can participate in
the semester-length College Program as CPT  if an internship is a required
part of their academic studies.  If their major does not require an
internship, then F1 students can participate in the College Program as OPT
once they have graduated.  Also be sure to check out the Professional
Internships listed on the website:  <http://www.disneyinterns.com/>
www.disneyinterns.com as these positions may more directly relate to many
students' fields of study. 

 

Please help spread the word about this incredible opportunity to your
international students. If you have any questions, please contact me at
<http://mail.yahoo.com/config/login?/ym/Compose?To=lcarledg@yahoo.com>
lcarledg at yahoo.com or 336-420-7920.  

 

Thank you,
