Communication Students Find Success with Spring Internships
TOPICS:
From filmmaking in Los Angeles to campaigning for Congressman Joe Kennedy III in Boston, the roughly two dozen Communication students working as interns this spring semester are putting their skills to the test in the professional world. On Feb. 27, College staff joined the Communication department faculty and students to celebrate their internship achievements at the Spring Internship Seminar Dinner.
"The internship dinner is one of my favorite events because I'm always awestruck by the group of students in this program, not only because of the quality of companies they work for but more so due to the quality of work they lead each semester," said Mike Bosco, Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs to the group at the dinner.
