OSU Extension
Internship Opportunities
Sam Custer
We will have two internship opportunities in Darke County this summer.
One will be an ACRES intern like have hosted the past two years.
Different this year will be that the intern will be based in Miami
County but will continue to work with me doing On Farm Research.
• The Ohio State University Agronomic Crops Team will lead a summer
program in 2017 aimed at providing a rich training experience to
undergraduate students in a diversity of disciplines related to
agronomic crop research. These Agronomic Crop Research Experience
(ACRE) Interns support OSU on-farm research, by being placed in
strategic locations or hubs of research throughout the state. They will
work to help facilitate better integration of research, education and
outreach overall.
Specifically, the ACREs program strives to:
• Provide valuable, hands-on training to undergraduate students in a
variety of agronomic crops disciplines to prepare them for careers in
extension, research or industry
• Provide a network of research assistants to help collect data from
on-farm field trials throughout the state, more effectively expanding
on-farm research capabilities
• Enable greater independent research initiatives by county educators
A second intern will be housed in our Darke County office. This
intern will be under my supervision working in the area of agriculture
but will also have experience in 4-H, Family and Consumer Sciences and
SNAP-Ed.
• If you have completed two years of college, consider applying to work
as a paid intern in the OSU Extension- Darke County office. Spend
ten weeks next summer working with the local OSU Extension staff as
they work with youth and adults on issues such as sustainable food
systems, building vibrant communities, health and wellness, job skills,
thriving across the life span and environmental
quality. Apply by February 19thfor one of twelve
internship positions in Ohio. To learn more about the positions
