I need help finding an internship. Where can I seek assistance?

The Magner Career Center is a valuable resource because its representatives assist students in connecting their college experience with a relevant internship and/or career opportunity. Students are entreated to become proactive in their internship and/or career planning by taking full advantage of the comprehensive list of career services (e.g., company visits, career panels) offered by the center. It’s never too early to start preparing for your internship and/or career. Students should make an appointment, as soon as possible, to meet with a Magner Career Center representative for assistance in formulating a solid internship plan. The representative will be able to help students narrow down a list of internship possibilities within the communication field.
