JMU S/C internship, summer
I was hoping you could help me out. We are looking for summer interns and I was wondering if you guys have an internship board of some sort where you post available internships? If so let me know what I can do to get our internship posted on there as I would love to have more JMU students participate.
Thanks,

Physical Therapy Aide employment, Norfolk, VA
My name is Lucas Johnson, I am a physical therapist in Norfolk, VA. I am searching for physical therapy aides for our outpatient/sports medicine clinic. One of my recent aides and JMU grad, Nick Craig, recommended I reach out to you. I am reaching out to see if you would be willing and able to send out an email or post our ad to current and alumni students with our job opportunity. I have attached an ad. Ideally I am looking for a student who is graduating in May and looking to go to PT school in the future (but am open to other options). Our aides have an excellent track record of getting into PT school and performing well. I appreciate your time and consideration. Please feel free to email me with any questions.
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Lucas Johnson
