These contacts can give you feedback, constructive criticism, and support. Also these contacts can open the doors to future employment with the company or can serve as future references and assistance in the communication field. Remember though, the most viable avenue for making contacts is through your own resources. Anyone or anything that can put you in contact with a possible employer is a contact. Take advantage of the resources that are here for you.
Internships are available in all areas of communication.
They are available at TV and radio stations, non-profit organizations, corporations, newspapers, museums, public relations offices, hospitals, advertising agencies, and campus offices, to name a few. Past interns have designed advertising campaigns, written press releases, researched corporate culture, and handled television and radio production. These are just a few of the many ways of obtaining hands-on experience in your field of interest. Register immediately with the Department of Communication Intern Coordinator and your Liberal Arts advisor prior to the start of the internship. Please note that retroactive credit cannot be given in ANY case.
