I wouldn’t have had the knowledge and tools if I hadn’t visited them. The resources I have used from the Pancratz Center have set me up for success!
7. Do you have any advice for other students who are searching and applying for internships? My advice is that it is okay to take it slow. An internship may not necessarily fall in your lap right away and it will most likely take hard work and dedication to get the role you want. I can guarantee the hard work will show for the position you apply for and the internship you get!
