The School of Design will hold the annual internship showcase in the Rockland banquet room on April 12 from 4-6 p.m.
The event features students who completed internships during the spring 2018 semester. Students will present their internship experiences to faculty and staff members, their peers, and even employers. Nearly 60 students will be available to discuss their experiences at their internship sites. Following the event, there will be a “Mix and Mingle” session from 6-7 p.m.

Sonya Lawyer, assistant professor of design and internship director for the School of Design, considers the showcase a “celebration.”
Since there is a large group of students, some will be collaborating for their presentations, according to Lawyer. Time restrictions prohibit each student from presenting separately.
Prior to the showcase, the students had to undergo preparation before getting the chance to highlight their experiences. They were asked a week in advance to conduct their presentations in class, and classmates rated their presentations. One of the students, DeJonna Farrar, a business communication major, said the preparation was to ensure there were no errors during their presentations.
Students who both attend and showcase their internships will also get the opportunity to seek other internship opportunities and jobs at the event.
“I’m hoping that current student interns will feel the love and understand that their accomplishments are to be celebrated. For students looking for internship placements, I hope they will gain some helpful tips into the internship process,” said Lawyer.
She added that she hopes students attending the event could even secure an interview with a company by the end of the evening. Despite already accomplishing one, Farrar hopes to find another internship in a different field.
Students who want to learn more about the event can contact Sonya Lawyer through campus email.
