Internships

Taylor Law Firm | Remote

My favorite part of the internship was building a bond with Miss Taylor. She reminds me of myself because we went through similar struggles. It was also amazing because I was able to work with a successful black woman in the career field I am pursuing. My least favorite part about my internship was that everything was virtual. I like to converse with people face to face and not via zoom. However, the entire experience was great because I was able to stay at home with my infant.

My favorite part of my internship experience was not only being able to have so much creative freedom when it came to designing the textile prints, but also being able to see my growth overtime, and by the end, having over 30+ prints and renderings that would be sent to the Anthropologie team for selection. This process was really rewarding in the sense that I felt independent, and my supervisor’s positive feedback made me motivated to continue in the industry I love.

The advice that I have for other students seeking internship opportunities is to remain open-minded and to make the best of your internship experience. My internship placement wasn’t at a fashion brand as I hoped it would be, however since it was still within the design field, I collaborated with my site supervisor to make the most of my internship. Fortunately, I was able to work on projects that were all pertinent to my career field.

I advise other students to use your connections and resources to your advantage. Many MSU faculty and staff members are often willing to help in any way they can, especially during these difficult times. It is also important to not become discouraged and keep trying. There are opportunities everywhere, just remain open minded and stay positive!

My advice for other students would be that if you are looking for an international remote internship, to definitely apply for Connect-123. They helped me with everything and made the whole process very smooth and I could really tell that they wanted me to succeed. The program provided workshops and group discussions and endless help to those who needed it. They also asked what I wanted to do, which was motion design, and were able to give me a remote program on exactly that.

My advice is to reach out to anyone that can be of help, apply to everything you're interested in, and don't give up! Also, actively pay attention to the Excel Network because they are very helpful!

To other students looking for internships, I say don't be too picky! Chances are, no internship is going to have exactly what you want. My internship didn't reflect what I want to do in the future, but it was such a great learning experience!

Babette Wasserman | Remote

My favorite part of the internship was the opportunity to learn about the "behind the scenes" of a small company. From the design process to editing the website, I was able to work closely with the team and develop an understanding for life as an entrepreneur. It was so exciting to see the process of ideation to creation, especially when her designs were specially made for customers or world-renowned brands.

My advice to other students is to always speak up if you’re interested in finding an internship! I brought up internships with my advisor, and I found out about this opportunity through him. I didn’t think I was ready for an internship at that time, but it’s never too early to at least start looking.

Youlosophy | Remote

My favorite part of the internship was being able to help the team at Youlosophy improve their work booklets by editing their work or in other words giving the team constructive criticism. In addition, I was able to practice my Spanish with my supervisor who made Youlosophy a pleasant and encouraging working environment.
