I've never had to look for internships so I can't offer any advice, but I'll ask around to people I know and see what I can find out for you. What field?

Carrie, it depends on the job sector. What's your field? If you're into the social justicey thing, there's idealist.org, which you can search for internships. Many government and national organizations or foundations also list their internships under their career opportunities. Most government jobs sites also allow for you to search internships when you go into their jobs portal. Also, does your university send out a listserv or post them in the Career Services Center?

Hope that helps! Good luck!

In all the public restrooms on campus we have a slogan (Don't let the FLU spread around OU, wash those hands) with a picture of hand giving a thumbs up being run under water.. and then the rules underneath rotfl

You probably think I go to an elementary school now.

Is it for kids? If so, what about stick figures. One washes hands and is happy and healthy...one doesn't and is sick in bed with a thermometer. Ok, I'm silly. :happybear:

Someone once told me that kids should wash their hands as long as takes to sing the ABC's. Maybe you incorporate that into a poster?

San,

I worked in a daycare for a year and we the kids needed to sing this song while they washed their hands and they have to do the motions

Tops and bottoms, tops and bottoms
In between, in between
All around the middle, all around the middle
Now their clean, now their clean

It probably wasnt excacly what you are looking for but it gives you an idea yes
