Internship opportunities for juniors and seniors

---

Junior- and senior-level students have the opportunity to participate in a professional internship, such as the one served by senior journalism majors Marnique Olivieri-Panepento and Elizabeth Egan (right and second from right, respectively, in photo below) at Positano News in Sorrento in the summer of 2022.

"Following our boss blindly onto a fishing boat in Positano, pushing into a private tour of an ancient Roman Villa, crashing two weddings, and having locals shower us with free espresso and limoncello all in the name of journalism are just a few of the many incredible experiences I will never forget from this internship."
