January 22, 2019Anti Human Trafficking Internship

This winter I had the wonderful opportunity of interning at the New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking. This internship not only gave me hands on experience, but it also opened my eyes to a serious issue. It was interesting seeing how I was able to apply concepts learned in my Contemporary International Human Rights class with Professor Root to this internship. Despite the internship being short I was enlightened and empowered the whole time. Looking back, I am proud to have been able to put such an amazing production with such great people. - Gabriela Ulloa Read More

November 5, 2018Interview with Johanna Godinez by Kelan Chase

I currently intern at Allen & Houston Styling Company, based in Southern California, working as a copy editor for their monthly published magazine. My job is to ensure that each article has grammatical correctness, along with editing any factual data that is not accurate. It is an online internship so it is easy to manage my course load around the work of the magazine. Even though I have not met my editing team face-to-face, we are continually emailing each other back and forth, ensuring that by the 15th of every month, we have a quality magazine to be published.

October 25, 2018Blog from Sorrento

Over the summer of 2018 I had the incredible opportunity to do an internship in Massa Lubrense, Italy through the Sant’Anna Institute in Sorrento.  I worked with Vervece Charter, a touring company on the island of Capri and the towns of Positano and Amalfi. It was such an exhilarating feeling being an American working in Italy and being able to teach tourists from all around the world about the incredible “Blue Island.”   While working in the office, and during some of my free time, I was asked to contact travel agents in the Tri-State Area and to assist in ...

February 22, 2018Heart Racing - Confidence Booster

At the beginning of October, two NBCUniversal representatives visited Ramapo College presenting a “Career Conversation” regarding internship and job opportunities. In a short time of two days, my interest to be part of NBCUniversal’s team (whether temporarily or permanently) quickly grew. After organizing a professional resume, researching NBCUniversal, and preparing for an interview, I attended the Career Conversation with an anxious, excited, and determined mindset. The representatives presented a PowerPoint on NBCUniversal’s broadcasting and production industry. The focus on fields I was unfamiliar with concerned me, but did not deter my interest in working at NBCUniversal. My eagerness and curiosity ... Read More

February 9, 2018“This Experience Will Open Many Doors for Me”

Throughout my spring semester of ’17, I constantly applied to internships at least 2 or 3 times a week. By the time finals came around I had easily applied to about 90 different internships and only heard back from about a dozen of them. I spent more time sending follow-up emails than actual applying to the position. Funny enough, I declined all of the offers I received simply because it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t want to settle on an internship just because it was the ‘right’ thing to do. I knew what I was looking ... Read More
