I was a marketing intern and my primary roles were to edit videos and design a brochure for an award show that my organization was throwing. Improving my video editing skills was my favorite part about this experience. Also, I learned a lot more about marketing and learned some design skills. This experience also helped me improve my time management skills and networking skills. In the future, I plan to pursue a job that involves video editing.

Through this internship, I learned the importance of creating connections at work through genuine interactions! If you are meant to work in a certain field you will find serendipitous relationships along the way. My advice is to look for genuine connections and pursue what actually interests you! Never allow yourself to feel like the field you want to go into is inaccessible, if you have a genuine interest and passion you will find the opportunities that fulfill you!

My responsibilities were to edit existing works for grammar, spelling, clarity, and punctuation in British and American English, which also involved translating some texts before editing. I also wrote new content in English following the styling and direction of the works I had previously edited. My favorite part of the internship was editing. The biggest project assigned to me was editing both existing and future books, so I quickly fell into the groove of being an editor and it brought me a huge sense of satisfaction.

My advice for other students seeking internship opportunities is to start your search early and be open to a wide range of possibilities, because it gives you time to make connections and express your interest in an organization.

Reach Studio Art Center | Lansing, Michigan

My favorite parts of the internship are the friends I’ve made and the beautiful learning moments I’ve seen students have. I learned a lot about non-profits and the way they run- and I feel deeply connected to the work Reach does. I learned massive amounts from each artist I worked with both about the creative process and classroom management. I advise that students looking for internships wait for their best fit if possible. I’m glad I took the time to sort through opportunities and found Reach.

This opportunity taught me so much about myself, and helped me to learn and develop so many skills – from social media, to time management, to confidence in professional settings. My advice to anyone reading this is to take a chance on an international internship – it will help you grow as a person, and as a citizen of the world.

My advice for other students is: learn every chance you get! One of the biggest things I found out through this internship is that if you take the chance to connect with people, you will find out a lot about life, not just work. My brides challenged and surprised me every day.

My absolute favorite part of this internship has been the close relationships that I have formed with my coworkers and clients. I have made strong connections that I will cherish for the rest of my life. The worst part of this internship is having to leave for a bit. I am so excited to go back to MSU’s campus, but I will miss my company greatly and look forward to working with them again in the future.

My advice for students looking for internships is two-fold. Firstly, do not give up! I spent months searching for internships, and so I know that it can be a painstaking and challenging process. I promise that if you hang in there, an opportunity will eventually come your way. You just have to keep after it and remember whatever dream it is that you’re working towards.

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.
