WCU INTERN EVALUATION (REV 2.3.17)

West Chester University Intern Employer’s Evaluation
Dear WCU Accounting Intern Employer,
Thank you again for participating in West Chester University’s Internship Program. Your contribution
is invaluable to the success of our students. WCU’s Business School was awarded AACSB Accreditation
in January 2006. This certification is held by only 10-15% of all business schools worldwide. As part
of that process, we are required to survey our students’ employers on an ongoing basis. The survey
following the intern evaluation is not used to compute a grade for your intern. Simply use a pen or
pencil to enter your responses. Please return the evaluation and survey to me on or before the deadline
for end-of-internship paperwork from employers –> Last two weeks of the semester. If you rehired
the same intern into the same position with the same supervisor, you need complete the evaluation
only. Your intern cannot receive a grade until after ALL required documentation has been received.
Regrettably, a delay in receiving the employer’s input automatically results in a “No Grade (NG),”
which may lead to a student’s loss of financial aid, a reduction in their scheduling priority, and even a
delay in their graduation.
Sincerely,
Peter Oehlers, Internship Director

Office: 610-436-3460 (Business and Public Management Center Rm 433)

Notes: Employers may email me any signed document that has been scanned into a PDF file (hiring letter, objectives,
evaluation) with paper copy to follow within 5-days. Interns’ end-of-internship experience summary and updates resume may
be sent to me as MS Word files with paper copies to follow within 5 days. Do not fax anything to the WCU Accounting
Dept (notorious for being hung up in memory and the machine cannot handle the load associated with intern documentation).
Additionally, I work from home in the summer.
* If hand delivered, employer to sign across the envelope seal.
