Here is a possible summer internship. I don't expect it will qualify for course credit (i.e. practicum), any of you looking for something in HR this is a good opportunity. I don't know how much Excel is required, but if it means programming in Excel, that would be advanced. If it's just data input and some calculating, shouldn't be a problem for most. Check it out for those who are interested.
