Internships
There are a variety of exciting internships in the area and region. Talk to any adviser about considering an internship. You can also complete an internship for course credit by taking ENGL 494.

Approximately one-third of our students who intern as seniors receive job offers from employers. More importantly, internships help students learn a lot about the kind of environment in which they want to work, the kind of skills they have and still need, and the kind of people with whom they want to work.

For more information about where St. Norbert College students have previously interned, please visit the Career Services web site.

 I had the to opportunity to be the Marketing/Communications intern at the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce in Green Bay, WI from September 2006-May 2007. I worked approximately 12 hours a week in their office, had my own desk/computer, and was assigned to assist with the Chamber's main publications (BBJ, Friday Report, Press Releases, etc). It's really amazing where our "English Major" skills take us! Writing critically, persuasively and economically is apparently not all that common!

While working at the Chamber with my boss, the Marketing and Communications Manager, I more specifically honed my writing, editing and proof reading skills. I was involved in project management, content research, and conducting interviews followed by development of corporate marketing pieces. I even have had the opportunity to write many articles for the BBJ as a freelance writer, and still do so today. Ultimately, the experience I gained during this internship helped me to land another internship in my hometown of West Bend, WI. I am so happy to have had this opportunity, as it truly furthered my professional aspirations as well as helped me make contacts in the community that may even help in the future.

I have had the pleasure of being the Editorial Intern at the Fox Cities and Bay Cities Magazines in Appleton since December 2007, and I’ve learned so much in that short time! Working roughly 10 hours a week, I’ve been given opportunities to copy-edit, fact check, and write articles, as well as develop my interpersonal skills through numerous personal interviews. I feel like a full member of the team here, and every person in our small office helps teach me about creating a great magazine. It’s not exactly like writing an essay! I’ve learned about marketing, ad design, and layout just by listening carefully to “water cooler” conversations and the experience of actually writing articles has honed my skills more than I could have imagined. I look forward to learning even more as my internship runs its course, and I am certain that this experience will lead to many more wonderful opportunities for me.
