Recreation Management faculty developed an alternative online experience in place of the internship in response to two conditions created by the pandemic: (1) uncertainty of students being able to obtain internships; and (2) student safety. The vision was to have students build and practice problem solving skills, inspire innovation as well as be mentored by recreation professionals in the field. This brief provides an overview of the faculty team approach to designing a course within six weeks to be a quality online experience as an alternative to the traditional internship.
