Speakman 112

The “Intern Presentations” feature students’

presentations on their summer internships. It is

important to get the facts from a third party in

addition to the company's information when

considering that company's offer. Students will

discuss their responsibilities as interns, the perks

and drawbacks of the intern programs, and how

they got their internships followed by an

evaluation of their overall experience. There will

also be plenty of time for the presenters to answer

questions that members might have. Do not miss

this workshop if you want to be prepared for your

summer internship.
