The Honorable, The Legislature:
The Summer Affirmative Action Intern Program (SAAIP) Report for 2001 is enclosed. The report includes statistical data, evaluation results, and recommendations for program improvements. These recommendations were based on comments received from student interns and their supervisors, State Agency and University Affirmative Action Officers, SAAIP Coordinators, and Personnel Directors. We have implemented many of the recommendations for the 2002 Summer Affirmative Action Intern Program.
We are pleased to report that 2001 was another successful year for SAAIP. This past summer, 92 students were placed in 18 State agencies and University campuses throughout the State of Wisconsin. We appreciate your commitment and support in providing students exposure to state government. With your participation, the SAAIP will continue to attract Wisconsin talent in the higher education system.
If you have any additional comments or suggestions to improve the program for next year, please contact Claire Dehner, SAAIP Coordinator, at (608) 267-1005 or email
