Charlottesville, VA practicum/internship opportunity

I received this message from an Ex Sci alum, who is eager to "pay back" her alma mater by recruiting students for her place of employment. This would be best for someone whose permanent residence is around Charlottesville/Fishersville/Staunton as Charlottesville is about a one hour drive (one way) from Harrisonburg/JMU campus. AZ writes: 

I would love to have Bill Burnett Success Studio as one of the internship site.  We specialized in fitness for 50+ individuals, making us part of that special population.  Please let me know how we go forward in making that happen.

 

Thank you Jana.
