Communications & Marketing Intern
June - August 2020 • Gettysburg, PA
What I liked
I enjoyed the opportunity to balance many responsibilities and varied projects. I also had the chance to take the lead on many news stories, which I enjoyed, and also met with other members of the team for specified lessons in topics beyond content writing, like SEO and design.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been able to work on campus for this internship, but I was grateful for the opportunity to conduct it remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Advice
I would recommend that interns be prepared to try any assignment given to them and work efficiently. They should have a broad knowledge of the College offerings and members of the community and be able to conduct formal email exchanges.

Advice
Make sure you're doing something that makes you happy, especially if it involves dealing with people. When you can create a happy experience for someone else through the work you do, it will color the person's perspective and have a meaningful impact.
