Collective Power for Reproductive Justice: Charlotte Isenberg completed an internship with Collective Power for Reproductive Justice.

The archival work Charlotte participated in challenged her to develop important writing and research skills. The combination of developing these skills with pursuing her passion for reproductive justice made the position a dream come true.
Events By Summer Joy: Jessie Jung completed an internship with Events by Summer Joy, which is a wedding and event planning company. Her responsibilities included assisting in event coordination and execution, communicating with vendors and clients via email and in-person meetings, and working on design and writing projects for specific events. Jessie has been working for this company for a year now and has found a love for wedding and event planning. With her newfound love, she decided to become an intern this summer to further her knowledge of the industry. This internship allowed her to be creative and exercise her writing in newfound ways. With the variety of clients and vendors she communicated with, she discovered sides of wedding planning she didn’t know existed.
Safety NetAccess: Julieana Pennell completed her internship with Safety NetAccess. Her roles with Safety NetAccess included being a junior project manager and a junior technical writer. Julieana assisted with managing business-oriented projects and communicating with customers. She also drafted standard operating procedure documents (SOPs), checklists, and other technical documents that are helpful for team members. Originally, interning with this company was not somewhere Julienna saw herself because it specializes in the network and wifi industry. But when the position was recommended by a friend who interned there previously she decided to explore the opportunity. With this internship, Julieana expected to gain experience working with specialists and experts in the field to learn how to write documents for non-experts. She was pleased and surprised that the realities of the internship met her expectations.
