We’re looking for someone who brings passion, attention to detail, and creativity to their work, and who will approach this as though they are becoming part of a team effort. Â
- Community—We are passionate about fostering growth in our local community by supporting local businesses and organizations, and by providing community service.
- Professional Growth—We know first-hand how critical internship opportunities are for landing your dream job after graduation. During your internship, you will expand your marketing skills and gain valuable professional experiences to add to your resume.Â
