Internship Spotlight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started the internship doing simple tasks such as archiving footage and assisting producers on shoots and worked my way up to producing my first full-length show, \u2018Dinner and a Show,\u2019 a half-hour about places to eat and enjoy a show in the Boston area. Throughout this program, I\u2019ve learned a lot about myself, been exposed to new opportunities, and interacted with many amazing people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communications and Film\/Media \u201923 major Sarima Omodu-Amadi spent two summers as a production intern for WCVB Chronicle through the Emma Bowen Foundation.<\/p>\n\n<\/article><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n

Internships are built directly into many Harrington programs, but all majors are encouraged to apply for one or several internships during their time at Harrington. Students are encouraged to explore interdisciplinary opportunities ranging from film companies, non-profit organizations, PR agencies, sports teams to news broadcasters.<\/p>\n\n\n

It was a pleasure working with the Harrington School intern program. We chose two candidates who started in June and they adapted quickly to our organization, making significant contributions to our marketing efforts, including helping our teams create new blog articles, podcasts, videos, and infographics.<\/blockquote>Cynthia Abbott\nVice President, Marketing and Communications, Workplace Options<\/cite><\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
