I knew this internship would give me a glimpse of what it would be like to work in the field on a full-time basis. In addition, I knew it would give me the chance to meet people who could give me advice about graduate school and careers. On a day-to-day basis I shadowed doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. I also learned the basics of important diagnostic measures and procedures. For example, I was taught how to administer local anesthesia, stitch wounds, interpret x-rays and CT scans, and both test for and diagnose illnesses. I would usually shadow a different person each day. All of them were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to teach me the ins and outs of working in an emergency room. I was also able to network with physician assistants and medical school students who gave me valuable insights about what graduate school is like, including tips on applying and makng my application stand out. What I appreciated most was the opportunity to observe many different health-related scenarios. In the ER, you never know what will come through the doors and you have to be ready to react and think quickly in a fast-paced environment. I really liked this and my experience further solidified my plans to work in health care. If I was offered a full-time job, I would be more than happy to work at this hospital. Everyone was knowledgeable in their specific disciplines and they were dedicated to helping their patients. My advice to Marist students about internships is to encourage all of them to have at least one experience. Internships open doors for you to meet people in your field of interest. This is really important whether you are planning on joining the workforce after graduation or furthering your education by going to graduate school. Maria Gironas Senior Major: Communication Concentration: Public Relations Minor: Business Administration Public Relations & Marketing Intern Big Picture Media, Beverly Hills, CA I’ve had 14 internships including MSO PR, Feeling Anxious PR & Marketing, Shore Fire Media, SwitchBitch Records, 525 Entertainment, AXS TV, and Mark Cuban Companies. But, I have always wanted to work in music public relations, so I chose to intern at Big Picture Media, whose clients include some of my favorite bands - All Time Low, We Are the In Crowd, and Say Anything. My work included clipping articles on clients and researching publications that would give them great exposure. I wrote pitches to get brand ambassadors for client Glamour Kills Clothing Co., and used my music journalist contacts to get LA show coverage for clients. I wrote up the South by Southwest (SXSW) music industry public relations panel for 2015, which I have since found out was accepted! SXSW is an annual music, film, and interactive conference held in Austin, TX. Not only did I value the positive energy of the organization, but the perks were also great, like free concerts tickets, CDs, downloads and backstage passes to the Vans Warped Tour. My supervisors were the most encouraging group of people I have ever met. The staff bought me pie to celebrate my birthday! Even the founder, Dayna Travers, gave me feedback on my work. I got to know everyone in the LA and NYC offices and at concerts and events I networked with musicians, managers, journalists, and other music industry representatives. On my last day, Ms. Travers sent me an email asking me to interview with them first when I started my job search. I will definitely take her up on that! My advice to Marist students is that you don’t have to look at a listing to find an internship. Research companies you like and use sites like LinkedIn to find contacts. Don’t lose touch with your contacts, however, because you never know they will come in handy! Anna-Lena Hathaway Senior Major: Criminal Justice Minor: Global Studies Protective Intelligence Intern United States Secret Service, Washington, D.C. For most of my life I wanted to be an attorney, that is, until I completed an internship with a law firm in Los Angeles. It was a wonderful experience, but it taught me that being an attorney was not right for me. After that, I thought it would be a good idea to gain hands on experience in a government agency, since I have always been curious about federal law enforcement. I was drawn to the dual mission of the United States Secret Service to both protect the President of the United States and foreign dignitaries, and to protect the U.S. economy by combating counterfeiters. On a daily basis I completed open source searches regarding protectees, analyzed and managed counterfeit bills, and assisted agents with protective intelligence. I enjoyed the hardworking environment mixed with a fun atmosphere. The life and job of a Secret Service Agent is extremely stressful, therefore, the agents like to joke around when they have a bit of downtime. One day the agents took me out to Joint Base Andrews to see President Obama board Air Force One. It was wonderful to see that huge plane and all the agents in action, protecting the President. I had several supervisors, all of whom were very professional. They answered questions I had about a career in the Secret Service. The agents were also very open and honest about their careers and lifestyles. I also built an effective network of other federal employees whom I can now reach out to whenever I have questions. Due to my wonderful experience with this internship, I am considering pursuing a career in federal law enforcement. My advice to Marist students about internships is: Do Them! Take any and every opportunity to complete more than one internship. Whether or not it is ultimately the career direction you want, they still offer hands on learning where you can apply classroom knowledge. Be sure to dress your best on the first day and then take a look at what the employees are wearing. This will be a good indication of the appropriate dress code for the office. And, don’t hesitate to ask questions. An internship is a learning experience and people in the company will want to share their knowledge with you.

It also had the benefit of offering a very competitive salary for a pre-professional. In 2013, McKesson acquired a small company named Medventive. The transition of a small company into a large corporation involves many changes, and my job was to help standardize the practices and methods of the Medventive software implementation division so that it fit seamlessly into the McKesson corporate structure. I handled the transition of all files and accounts for the software implementation team. This involved updating all documents and then moving them from a local shared drive to the McKesson corporate SharePoint site. I also created walkthrough scripts for the various software products. My supervisor was energetic and friendly and very supportive, but also extremely busy. I spent nearly the entire internship with minimal supervision and therefore had to be extremely selfdirected. This was a significant challenge. But it was balanced out by the fact that the office environment was very relaxed and congenial. This helped the transition to go smoothly. My manager also organized events for employees including a luncheon, a fantasy football league, and an office Olympics. The Olympics competition was held during a barbecue at her home, accompanied by games like Bocce Ball, Horseshoes, and Kan Jam. I was proud to secure the Olympic trophy for my team! I hope to accept a full time position at McKesson after graduation, in part because they offer a significant financial incentive program to employees who wish to work while attending graduate school. I would advise Marist students not to hesitate to use personal contacts when trying to get an internship. Although I earned this internship due to my background of education and experience, it was a family member who initially put me in touch with a manager at McKesson. Ask everyone you know if they can refer you to opportunities and - nine times out of ten - they will be happy to help you. Sharley McIver-Jones Senior Major: Social Work Social Work Intern River Haven Youth Shelter, Poughkeepsie, NY River Haven Youth Shelter in Poughkeepsie is the only youth shelter in Dutchess County, offering safety, guidance, a voice, and self-directed growth and development to troubled and homeless youth of the Hudson Valley. River Haven lives up to its name and that is part of the reason I chose it as my junior internship site. The other reason was to offer assistance to the youth of the area. Run by Donna and Pete Menconeri, River Haven offers a compassionate, safe place for youth to receive respite while being connected to services to help them and their families find a better outcome and reduce conflict. My responsibilities including facilitating groups on the dangers of drugs and alcohol and how to make educated decisions to abstain from using them. The internship placement lasted for 10 weeks and each week, I would facilitate a group on a new topic. I also provided activities for youth to give feedback, share openly, ask questions, and complete self-directed projects that reflected what they learned from the week’s topic. I was responsible for facilitating transportation to school and community services and completing initial interviews with the youth and families who came to River Haven. There were many opportunities to network, on an individual, social, and organizational level. If I were offered a full time position with River Haven, I would accept it without hesitation. And, one was offered! River Haven holds a special place in my heart because I believe in the importance of advocating for youth and lessening the potential for negative outcomes in a young person’s life. Young people can turn their lives around if they have sufficient intervention when they need it, particularly in the adolescent years. Throughout my education, which included earning an Associate’s Degree from Dutchess Community College, I have completed internships at the Dutchess County Transition Center, Step One Addictions Counseling Center, Daytop Residential Chemical Dependency Counseling Center, and the Institute for Family Health, among others. As a result of what I have learned from these experiences, I would advise other Marist students to complete as many internships as possible because they offer the opportunity to learn and refine your knowledge and skills in a real world setting. Robert Tognetti Senior Major: Political Science Minor: Journalism Broadcast Journalist Intern WCBS News Radio 880. New York, NY Since declaring my minor in journalism, I always wanted to learn more about broadcast journalism. How do journalists in the field write and record their stories? In addition, I’ve been curious as to whether my major in Political Science would help me in writing and understanding certain stories better than journalists from other academic backgrounds. So, I chose the broadcast internship at WCBS News Radio. I was responsible for attending press conferences. I enjoyed this activity; the press conferences really had me in awe. They were all completely different from each other, so there was never a dull day out in the field. The conferences were located at places like the Empire State Building and Grand Central Terminal. I got to listen firsthand to two U.S. Senators, Mayor Bill de Blasio, a world renowned medical examiner and several famous celebrities. After listening to the press conference, I would observe professional journalists writing up their “wrap” reports. Then, I would head back to headquarters to write and record my own wrap based on that particular press conference. Usually for each story I would write and record 2-3 wraps. After finishing the wraps, my internship advisor would review and critique each one. My advisor was very friendly and knowledgeable. She really helped me understand what I should and should not put into wrap reports. For example, usually wrap reports are only about 45 seconds long, so only the bare essentials will be able to fit. It’s like hiking to your campus spot; you don’t want to have too much to slow you down. If WCBS offered me a spot as a full-time journalist, I would absolutely accept. It would be so exciting to report news on a full-time basis in the “City That Never Sleeps.” My best advice to Marist students seeking internships is to form relationships with your professors, especially the ones in your major field. You never know if they may be able to assist you in obtaining an internship. They could help open doors for you, as long as you have a relationship with them and you do well in their classes.

Video and Game Rental Program How would you like to embark upon a journey through inner space? Perhaps you are seeking new and exciting ways to nurture all aspects of your being – mind and body? I am a Certified Yoga Teacher, Meditation Teacher and Reiki Master-Teacher. My quest for personal transformation through the ancient healing arts began more than 30 years ago. I have learned many intriguing and powerful techniques for personal transformation along the way, which I wish to share with you! The Office of Student Activities offers movies for rental. All rentals are $2.00 for a two-day rental. Look for new releases. $10 unlimited monthly rental pass available. Board games are available and can be signed out for free with your Marist ID. Event Information Mind & Body with LoriAnn Paul – Mon., 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Various services and programs provided by The Office of Student Activities and a calendar listing all daily campus activities (which our office has scheduled or been informed of) may be found on our web page at www.marist.edu/campuslife/event. Information about campus events can also be found on campus bulletin boards, and the campus media (WMAR internet radio, MCTV television, and The Circle, Marist student newspaper). This 10-class series will incorporate yoga stretching and breathing techniques (designed to stretch, tone, and strengthen particular parts of the body and to calm the nervous system), and meditations drawn from different traditions around the globe (which help to improve relaxation/stress management skills and improve sleeping patterns among other things INTRAMURALS • club sports • RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS You should bring a notebook and mat, and wear loose, comfortable clothing. Please try to arrive a few minutes early so that you have time to settle in before class begins. Leave your worldly cares and troubles outside the door. Picture yourself entering an environment of peace and relaxation. Lie down quietly on your mat, relax, and allow yourself to enter into the experience of being “here and now.” There is a lot of fun and interesting material to cover, and regular attendance is highly recommended. Marist College is very proud of its extracurricular activities, which range from club sports to intramural and recreational activities. Club sports are seasonal and compete against other regional college programs. Intramurals offer any student, whether expert or novice, the chance to play on a team without the time demands of a club sport. Intramurals are designed to be co-ed, female, and/or male teams, and can change yearly depending on student interest. Recreational activities offer non-competitive programs ranging from golf and pilates, to roller skating and indoor rock climbing. Students interested in participating in either club sports, intramurals, or recreational programs should contact Intramural Office, x2482, for information on how to get involved. Spring 2015 Emerging Leaders Series…One More Reason to Keep Your Eye on Your Marist E-Mail The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an exciting, non-credit certificate program providing students with varied and unique opportunities to define, discover, and develop their personal leadership style.

A meaningful and practical experience…hot topics… enhanced community connection…resume building…developing key contacts… a running record of your participation in the program and a certificate of completion for students who attend at least five workshops…and much more. What does it cost? Nothing but your time and a speedy response. ELP offerings are announced via a campus-wide e-mail. Registration for each workshop is limited to the first 50 respondents, but with a few clicks of the mouse, you can join a large and dynamic group of future leaders. Don’t miss out on this special opportunity. Questions about the program can be sent to [email protected]. Look for us on the Marist website under First Year Programs. A message from your Student Booster Club President Student Booster Club offers Marist students the opportunity to not only receive priority points, but the chance to support your classmates in Marist’s 23 Division I sports. For those of you that were at the women’s basketball home opener last season vs. Kentucky or the men’s home opener this season vs. Army, you felt what it is was like in a packed arena. The atmosphere and support that you give to all student-athletes helps them bring home wins. This semester I hope that everyone comes to as many games as possible, to show support for their fellow classmates who practice hard every day to play their best and want a large crowd to be behind them at every game.
