"Reading Hour"-- Join us for a Reading Break, Cookies, and Cocoa

In a world that seems increasingly defined by productivity, optimization, and the devices that tether us to those practices, the simple act of picking up a book and carving out an hour to read with no agenda feels radical. Reclaim your relationship to reading and spontaneous conversation with this low-key, no-tech event. Read alongside friends, meet some new people, and enjoy hot cocoa and holiday cookies! Supported by the Engaged Humanities at UP and its Mellon Foundation-funded Civic Humanities Incubator project. Questions? Email prf@up.edu.

Kartini Clinic School Assistant Internship Opportunity

Kartini Clinic loves hosting UP interns! Here is a link to the internship postings with Kartini. At this moment the mental health internships are full for Fall 2025 (they were filled at the end of last year). However, we do have a School Assistant Internship open that would allow students to work with our patients while they are in the classroom. The intern would provide behavioral support if needed and light tutoring and encouragement to the patients in that setting. Kartini Clinic has an accredited alternative school on-site so the patients can stay enrolled in school while they receive treatment with us for approximately two months. There is a full-time teacher and a part-time principal/administrator on-site each week. There are patients in the classroom for four hours a day Mon - Fri. This particular internship is a two day minimum. The most helpful two days would be chosen from Mon, Wed, Fri (but we can accommodate Tue and Thurs if needed). The schedule is usually something close to 9am - 3pm.
