Thank you so much for helping be able to have this opportunity and helping me work out the details! My first day went very well. I feel like I’m going to get a good idea of what a regular day as a veterinarian would be. I really like it there. I was able to observe a dog and a cat being spayed and an ear hemorrhage surgery. They let me observe them inserting a breathing tube into an animal's trachea before surgery and have continued to let me do blood tests.

One of my biggest projects was throughout the semester with the help of Dr. Alvarez, I gathered information for the 1st GOAL y Amigos Newsletter that covered what the student organization did during the 20-21 school year. I also worked on agendas and flyers for the student organization. I created most of the flyers that Dr. Alvarez sent out in email invites to students, faculty, and staff throughout the semester. I really enjoyed my mentoring time on zoom too, where Dr. Alvarez helped me prepare for my role of MC for our "Kids in Cages, How Did We Get Here" event. Lastly, I would communicate with all guest speakers in preparation for any campus events that GOAL y Amigos was involved in.
I really enjoyed my time at Ivy Tech! Especially being an intern, because I got to see the perspective as an employee and a student.

Jasmine HoyWill complete internship at Old National Bank in September 2020. The best part of my internship was the weekly meetings. We learned about the company as a whole and learned more about ourselves. The meetings made a big difference about working in my future.

Mason ClarkInterned at Ivy Tech Evansville in the Summer of 2020. The best part of my internship was either editing a Virtual Tour for Ivy Tech or planning out the social media for National Nursing Week. During my internship I learned that many projects don’t quite go as planned, so it is important to have backup ideas and to be as adaptable as possible. I have also learned that it is important to communicate constantly with all parties involved on a project; this makes everything go smoothly. Internships are a great way to learn about the field you are working in and get experience and knowledge about higher education or other institutions. It can also be a great way to hone your skills or develop new ones that will be essential to your future. |
