I got a research internship next summer, should I mention this?

[RP15]

So I managed to obtain an internship with Intel Corporation in a research and development lab for next summer. Is this worth putting on a resume / statement of purpose ? 

 

I didn't even start it yet.. However, I will be working on a topic that pertains to my interests

 

Thanks!

If it's a confirmed thing and it's related to what you are applying for and you know the dates won't conflict with the school you are applying to, then sure, you should mention it! I would put it on my CV as a future item and briefly discuss your excitement of starting this internship in your SOP.

Standard conventions in my part of the world let you indicate future/anticipated items on your resume by writing them all in italics. Make sure you've got the future date clearly indicated, and then you're golden!
