Social Media
Many students are excited to share their internship experiences. With the advent of blogs and social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, and others), the private is public. We urge all interns to carefully consider material they are publishing before posting internship site-related content to the Web.
While you are a private citizen, you are also a representative of Rochester Hills to the outside world. If you wish to share information, as an Intern of the City of Rochester Hills, about your internship site and experiences through social media forums, you should discuss the content with your Supervisor first, and ask for advice on what is permissible.PHYSICAL AND WORK ENVIRONMENT
