What I liked
Interns in Information Services were given meaningful and useful projects to complete during the duration of the program. The company offered thorough on-boarding and applicable resources for completing projects. The mentoring from full-time employees was superb as I never felt afraid or intimidated to reach out for help. Interns in IS also participated in team meetings and were asked to contribute. At the end of the program, interns were given the chance to present their projects in the company's auditorium to company executives. Although challenging, the team I worked with was very helpful in assisting with my presentation. It was a useful learning experience and interns were treated like normal employees. There were also a plethora of developmental experiences outside of daily work such as volunteering and social outings with Network Resource Groups. The program was a great learning experience and a great financial opportunity over the summer as the internship compensation was generous, especially since the company provided housing and free parking to interns. The internship was also in a great location as Nashville is a booming city with many amenities. You'll also have the opportunity to socialize with the other interns in the program and develop friendships.
