Are you willing to relocate for the 10 week duration of your internship? (Note, Emerson Collective will provide a stipend to students who relocate for internships.)

I understand that if I relocate for my internship, it will be full-time in person or hybrid working arrangements - no summer school, vacation trips or other jobs should overlap with the 10-week internship term. I will also work with the College Track, Stanford FLISSC and/or Emerson Collective team to follow relocation protocol to secure my own housing.
