Overall, this internship will provide interns with a rewarding and enriching experience as they work to support the success and well-being of military-affiliated students at California State University Fullerton. Their contributions will make a real difference in the lives of our veterans, active-duty service members, reservists, and military-affiliated students, and we look forward to welcoming them to our team.
