This campus fishbowl discussion considers the ethics and economics of unpaid internships. Are they mutually beneficial for both intern and employer? Or do they take advantage of students and eliminate jobs for others? Is there a negative consequence for students who cannot afford to work for free? How should public policy address this burgeoning, and sometimes manipulative, free labor market? Discussants also offer students practical advice for seeking worthwhile internships and making the most of their experience no matter what route they choose. Discussants include: Pamela Ahearn, Director of the Summer Internship Program; Edward Carey '14; Joshua Congdon-Hohman, Assistant Professor of Economics; Kelly Dyer '14; and Roseann Fitzgerald '78, Director of Research and Prospect Management. Thomas M. Landy, McFarland Center Director, moderates.
