As we begin to finally thaw out from what seemed like the longest and coldest winter, signs of spring and summer are everywhere. The trees are green, the air is fresh and the pollen count is high.
With these new beginnings comes a new season of summer interns, including myself. Now that my first days as Indiana INTERNnet’s Marketing and Special Events Intern is under my belt, I am ready for the learning experiences that await me this summer.
Having just finished my junior year at Indiana University in Bloomington, I am excited to return home to Indianapolis for the summer to continue the learning process. My previous internships in marketing and public relations at home in Indianapolis and abroad in London helped greatly strengthen my workplace experience, and I know those experiences will only grow during my time here.
Over the course of the summer, I hope to learn more about the internship process and help engage others via blog posts, social media and working with Indiana employers. Marketing and engaging clients are more valuable today than ever before, and I cannot wait to hit the ground running as we move from spring to summer and help promote successful internships in Indiana.
The transition from spring to summer, and from student to intern, can be daunting. I am hardly used to the warm weather or getting up before 10 a.m. But with these changes comes a new sense of focus and goals to accomplish. During the next three months I hope to facilitate matches for a successful internship for both parties.
By forging strong connections between employers and interns, Indiana INTERNnet brings like-minded people together, and I am excited and honored to be a part of that process.
