Just wanted people to be aware of this since it should save people some $$$:
Dear Students Applying for Internship,
The Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology is excited to announce the roll out of a new resource for our student members. One of our Campus Representatives, Sarah Victor, proposed the idea of an Internship Hotel Match-Up and we are thrilled to provide what is sure to be an excellent resource for our student members!
The SSCP Internship Hotel Match-Up will allow interested students to complete a request for each date and location for which they would like to share a hotel. Students can then find other students with requests for the same date and location and contact them in order to make hotel arrangements.
If you are interested in participating in the SSCP Internship Hotel Match-Up, please complete a SEPARATE FORM for each interview date and location. The form can be accessed here:
http://tinyurl.com/2015sscphotelsignup. Please note that, by filling out the form, you are providing personally identifiable information (name, email, etc.) that will be available to others who also complete the form, and SSCP is unable to verify participants’ identities.
While we expect that everyone who fills out the link is who they say they are, you are coordinating rooming arrangements with someone you (probably) don't know, so we strongly encourage you to vet the people you are considering staying with and be cautious when coordinating room shares. This might mean asking for an institutional email address (if the person did not provide one), speaking to the person on the phone or Skype before meeting in person, or even asking for a quick reference email from a supervisor or colleague. You are in no way obligated to room with someone who makes you uncomfortable in any way or with whom you do not feel safe. If you have questions about this, please contact Sarah (
[email protected]).
Once you complete your information, you will be able to access the document with other student's requests and information (please note this may take up to 24 hours). You can then contact other students who are requesting the same date(s) and location(s) to coordinate your hotel plans! Please look for an email with additional instructions once you have completed the form.
Feel free to share this resource with other students who are applying for internship and/or to send it to students in your program. We will be sending it out on several other listservs as well, to make this resource as useful as possible for everyone.
Best,
Rosanna Breaux and Andrea Niles
