There are a limited number of interviewing times available. UIP will accommodate students on a first-come, first-served basis. Because many others will be attempting to do the same, please do not wait until the last minute, contact UIP as early as possible to make your arrangements (intern-uip@virginia.edu, 434-982-2055, 434-982-5552). Even if you are unable to participate in the in-person, on-Grounds, application interviews and related activities in the Spring 2012, you are encouraged to submit your online application before the application period deadline.
