We'd like to ask for your assistance in advertising this internship opportunity to students at your university by forwarding this email to students and faculty.  We are currently looking for students to fill internships for the Spring 2014 term (January 2014 - June 2014).  The deadline to apply is October 2nd.

If you are interested in receiving 4" x 6" cards with internship opportunities within the Animal, Science and Environment programs at Disney, please let us know and we'll be happy to send some your way.  Please include your mailing address in the email.

Below, interested applicants will find information on our internship program as well as how to apply:

The Agricultural Sciences Professional Internship Program is designed to provide qualified college students with the opportunity for hands-on work experience in the unique growing areas that are part of Living with The Land, an agricultural attraction at Epcot(r).
Responsibilities:
In addition to maintaining the show quality of our growing areas, aquaculture systems or biotechnology lab, interns will spend a significant amount of time leading informative and interactive guest tours through our facilities, along with promoting and selling these tours. Additional training sessions, classes and meetings will be scheduled throughout the semester. Other duties vary by discipline:

Aquaculture:
Operate a recirculating freshwater aquaculture facility. Monitor filtration systems and water quality, assist in diagnosis and control of disease, and raise fish to marketable size for Walt Disney World(r) restaurants.

Biotechnology:
Maintain a tissue culture production facility. Prepare media and culture a wide variety of plants. Then, collect, package and deliver the tissue-cultured plants to Epcot(r) merchandise locations.

Entomology:
Become an integral part of The Land's Integrated Pest Management program. Rear and maintain insect colonies, release beneficial insects into greenhouse crops, and maintain entomology-related shows.

Plant Science:
Maintain a high-quality show of hydroponically-grown food crops from around the globe. Seed, transplant, irrigate and prune plants; harvest produce for Epcot(r) restaurants; rake, sweep, and provide general cleanup of greenhouses.

Interested students should email a cover letter, resume, school transcript, and one letter of recommendation to WDW.EPCOT.Science.Internship at disney.com<mailto:WDW.EPCOT.Science.Internship at disney.com>.  Selected students will be interviewed via phone by a Walt Disney World representative to further discuss the internship.

Please refer interested students to http://disneyinterns.com<http://disneyinterns.com/>/science.  They can click on "Walt Disney World(r) Resort," and select "Sciences / Horticulture / Zoology." There, students will find more information about the Plant Science, Entomology, Biotechnology, and Aquaculture internship positions.  If students have any questions with accessing the site, please have them email us directly at WDW.EPCOT.Science.Internship at disney.com<mailto:WDW.EPCOT.Science.Internship at disney.com>.

Thank you for your assistance in helping us share the news about this exciting internship opportunity with your students.

Sincerely,

Les Frey
