What would happen if you allowed students a platform to pitch you an internship? Students pitch you instead of you pitching students.
Interns are cheap, low-risk hires. Period. What if instead of writing an internship position, student were able to write their own?

I think smart students do this out there, but I have never seen an internship application look like this:

Get out of the way.
