EMC's WebCompass Program

SDSU's Entrepreneurial Management Center's (EMC) recently launched the WebCompass program in order to offer paid internships for undergraduate seniors majoring in business, graphic/web design and computer science.

Students from each major team up during the semester-long internship and are given the task of completing a web-based project for a local non-profit. The end result provides the students with real-world experience and the non-profits with much needed web services.

With support from Qualcomm Inc. the program's pilot phase was established in late September of 2008 with the first WebCompass student teams completing websites for non-profits, La Cuna and Innovations Academy. La Cuna is a San Diego-based Latino foster care agency and Innovations Academy is a new charter school in La Mesa.

WebCompass will be offered to students each semester, beginning Spring '09. For more information, please contact Clare McCarty at cmccarty@projects.sdsu.edu or (619) 594- 0462.
