The internship is designed to deepen and broaden an individual’s knowledge of
Marianist Studies and experience of the comprehensive Marianist Family. The
usual term for the internship is one year. However, if both the supervisor
and the intern determine that a second year would be advantageous, the
internship can be extended for another 12 months. Depending on the
office site available, he or she will report to the Director or one of the
Associate Directors.
The intern will be expected to work with the supervisor to schedule and work toward the following
1.Complete a set of core readings—a list of texts will be provided at the onset of the internship
2.Become familiar with the history and significance of key persons in Marianist history.
These can include the founders and “second founder,” martyrs, pioneers, and important thinkers
such as William Ferree. Supervisors and interns will design a focus on certain
individuals as the internship progresses.
3.Develop a working knowledge of the Marianist Family across the globe—its cultures,
divisions, collaborative structures, leaders, and ministries.
4.Design and complete a Contributing Project which will advance one or more aspects of the NACMS
Mandate. Options and appropriate activities will be discussed by supervisor and
intern after the intern has been working for three months.
5.Along with program staff, participate in the design and implementation of NACMS
educational or formational events.
6.In consultation with Coordinator of Publications, contribute at least one piece of
writing for publication (web or print).
7.As requested by Director, attend meetings held by NACMS.
8.As budget and schedules allow, accompany staff to primary centers of Marianist life
throughout U.S. and Canada.
9.Assist staff with special projects, as needed. Before the conclusion of the year,
submit a 10-page research paper on a Marianist topic (chosen in
consultation with supervisor).
Typical vehicles for accomplishing the above include, but are not limited to tutorials, VLC
classes, participation in yearly history class for novices, regular checks
of main Marianist web sites, blogs, and directed reading.
