It is understandable that firms may wish to rehire students who performed wonderfully as interns during the previous summer.� If this were to be done systemically, however, the Academy would be unable to meet its commitment to those students yet to experience the workplace.� The director needs to emphasize this when first establishing a relationship with the firm and should be prepared to reiterate it if necessary.� The suggested response is to tell the firm that the Academy would welcome the rehiring of the student if this placement would not come out of the agreed-upon number of slots set aside for Academy juniors.� If this is not possible, then the director should state simply that the Academy�s first obligation is to the students still in the program.� It would also be politic to tell the firm that a junior of comparable ability will be provided.
