Wesleyan Students Succeed in the Workplace
Have you ever asked yourself, "How can I get experience in my major when
I am still in school? How can I make myself more marketable upon graduation? How
can I build an effective resume?" The answer is one word – INTERNSHIP!
Each year an increasing number of Wesleyan students participate in the
internship program. Working in a professional setting relative to their major
during their junior or senior year helps students achieve both short and
long-term goals. Interns earn academic credit while applying classroom knowledge
to the business environment, test career choices, develop time-management
skills, and create a network of professionals in their chosen career. Employers
view internships as a means of evaluating a possible permanent hire once the
intern completes their degree. Read the following remarks by several former
interns.

 Dan Dalton
- An accounting major from Bernardston, MA, Dan is an honor student
and member of the basketball team. He completed a Career Exploration Internship
with a local accounting firm during his sophomore year. The following summer,
Dan completed an internship with one of the "Big
Five" international accounting firms and plans to pursue a career in tax
accounting. Dan says, "The internship
has had a positive influence on me."

 Renee
Walcott ’00
alum - Renee interned with the Rocky Mount Police
Department and rotated throughout the various departments. She was accepted into
their Police Academy and became one of four officers in its first graduating
class. "After this internship, I could not imagine doing anything
else!" |
|
 Alyssa Battle
- Alyssa majored in Political Science and completed several
internships while a student at Wesleyan. She interned with Democracy South, a
non-partisan political coalition and was hired as a campus coordinator when she
graduated in 2001. Alyssa said, "Abstract concepts about law and government
were made plain through this internship." She plans to pursue a master’s
degree at UNC-Chapel Hill.

 Adam Tanner
- Adam graduated in December 1999, with a degree in Justice Studies
and attributes his success to the internship program at Wesleyan. His first
internship was with the State of NC Division of Community Corrections in the
Halifax County Adult Probation and Day Reporting Center. He then completed two
internships with the State Bureau of Investigation and, at age 23, was hired by
the Bureau as an IBIS (Integrated Ballistics Identification System) operator in
the crime lab. Adam says, "There are a lot of people out there who try for
years to get a job with the Bureau and never make it. A lot of people don’t
even get a chance for an internship. Out of 51 applicants from all over the
state who applied when I did, only nine were selected. Wesleyan students got two
of those slots. The SBI knows Wesleyan has good students." The other
student selected was Michael Ferrell from Sharpsburg, NC. |

 Do
you envision completing an internship in a traditional office or lab
setting? If so, think again! Check out May 2003 graduate Amanda Dauses as
she delivers her Environmental Science internship presentation on horse
breeding. Amanda completed an internship this past spring at Eason Paint
Horses horse breeding farm and brought the mare and foal, she helped
deliver, to campus as part of her class presentation. During the internship,
she attended the Artificial Insemination and Breeding Management Course at
North Carolina State University and received certification. She plans to
continue working with the Easons until entering veterinary school. |
