Petition Letter
Dear Arts and Science Office:
My name is Nathan, and I am writing to formally request an academic petition to exchange my FILM 395: Internship course for MAPP 395: Internship in this Summer 2024 term. This request is necessitated by a significant change in my internship role and supervisor.
Initially, my internship was with the Kingston Canadian Film Festival, where I had arranged for my part-time employer to act as my supervisor for the internship. However, I have decided to pursue a more challenging opportunity that better aligns with my personal and professional growth goals. Consequently, I have secured a position with the FOLDA Festival, an innovative theater festival curated by Queen’s professor and associated with the Dan School of Drama and Music and the Department of Film and Media.
I apologize for passing the normal course add/drop deadline. The second work opportunity at the FOLDA Festival was presented to me only recently, after the deadline had already passed. Given the enhanced scope and relevance of this new position, I believe it would be highly beneficial for my academic and professional development.
Prof. Michael Wheeler, my new employer and supervisor at the FOLDA Festival, has kindly agreed to supervise my internship. I am confident that this new role will be more beneficial to my academic and professional development, as it aligns more closely with my program (MAPP).
I respectfully request your approval of this petition to allow me to switch my internship course to MAPP 395. Your consideration of this request is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Sincerely,
Nathan Zhe
