"I loved being able to work behind the scenes on different exhibitions and displays, and the curatorial team is full of great mentors who made my experience great."

"Give everything a shot—no matter how impossible it seems. I never thought a real publishing house would want my help, but they did!"

"I would recommend my internship for people looking to get genuine experience within the radio/professional script writing sphere."

"I want to write just like this internship for my career. This internship changed the direction of what I want to do with my life after college."

"These have all been great experiences as I enter this field and pursue a Masters of Library and Information science."

"My time as an intern . . . gave me the opportunity to expand my cultural literacy, research skills, and self-confidence."

"Everyone has different ideas and it is critical that all opinions and thoughts are shared."

"I didn't realize how important my internship would become to me."

"My favorite moments were the ones when I was able to answer a question that bothered someone for a while or explain a concept in a way that finally allowed them to grasp it."

"When it came time to find a company to hire me for full-time employment, I was able to leverage these experiences to promote myself as a worthy candidate in a competitive field because I could show that I have had tangible experience in the business world."

"Internships are great at guiding you as you are figuring out future goals. Experiences like internships can save you from years of moving in the wrong direction."

"The most rewarding aspect of my internship experience was the value of my completed project. Like I said, this organization is not-for-profit and therefore finds real value in an extra set of hands. They will give you real projects and if you work really hard, you will be able to see the impact it has on SBT."
