"My Internship gave me a broad idea for all aspects of the business world. I obtained information about sales, marketing, research analysis, and verbal and written communication skills. The strength of this internship was that it was very well rounded. I was never doing the same type of activity for more than a few days at a time."

~Andrew Johnson '09, News America Marking, Cincinnati, Ohio

"My internship was a wonderful learning experience. I was able to apply and recognize many of the terms and theories I had learned in class in the work I was doing. I was involved and active in the daily activities of the organization. I was also given a lot of freedom to conduct interviews and make observations on my own time. I feel like what I learned in the classroom at Denison came to life in this setting."

~Becca Keiser '10, Intern with the Center for Organizational Reform, Spokane, Washington

"Summer internships are one of the best experiences a student can pursue. On its most basic level, it's a resume builder that looks great to future employers and schools. But it's also more than that. Internships are an opportunity to continue your education, get some experience in an area you might end up pursuing as a career, and ultimately learn about yourself and your interests."

~John Burzinski '09, Minnesota ACLU, St. Paul, Minnesota

"The Denison Internship Program at Lacaster Pollard has a long history of success. Out of it has come some very valuable projects, as well as many extremely valuable employees."

Do you need money to help offset the cost of an internship?

• There are stipends available, through Alumni donations, for which students may apply in order to offset the cost of doing a summer internship. Applications for the stipends were available in Career Services beginning Friday, Dec. 5, 2008, and were due on Thursday, March 5, 2009 by 4:30pm. NO LATE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Students are asked to write an essay describing the internship(s) to which they are applying (or at least the career field they wish to explore) to design a budget that addresses their financial need, and provide a current resume. Please contact Ashley Strausser for details.
