Internship

Intern at the Emergent Media Center in Burlington, VT

What do you like best about your major?

I think the most valuable and enjoyable part for me has been learning how to use graphing and prediction software to analyze different datasets. My class projects have been the most rewarding, analyzing everything from Chipotle sales to sports statistics.

Can you describe your experience working with the Emergent Media Center?

At the Emergent Media Center, I worked alongside a team of other interns to research, develop, and present our findings on emerging technologies. The topics I learned about in class served as a base for me to build on during my internship experience, which also made it easy to bring the skills I learned in my internship back to class. Because of this internship, I have a fuller résumé, and I already have experience in the workforce, which will put me a step above other applicants.

Are you involved with any extracurricular activities?

I participate in Climb Champlain, our rock climbing club. I enjoy it a lot because it’s a fun, full-body workout, and it fDivision of Information Technology & Sciences nicely into my schedule.
