We have just passed through week 4 of actually working in the classroom with students at Kensington CAPA, excluding the weeks off for Columbus Day and the hurricane. Obviously we have hit a few road bumps and obstacles, another being Veterans Day this coming Monday. Despite all that has been thrown in our way, the kids still show up with brilliant, exciting ideas week after week. We are exactly one month away from the final presentation, and while we have made serious progress we are far from finished. By the final presentation date there is much I want us, Kensington…

When I first got hired as a intern with the Philadelphia Flyers, I expected an experience to be very different than the one I am having because of the current lockout state. I was hired as a game night promotions intern, which means, that we would attend all the home games and set up promotions and advertising during the games, enhancing the fan experience would be our main task.

The word Chemical can be scary, unless you have done your research. I spent the entire summer researching chemicals at my internship.

Most aren’t. It depends. Here are some facts that I learned about chemicals while working this summer. Mostly…

I spend three days a week at Sprout, and at least one of these days is spent as the Production Assistant (PA) on their live show. The Sunny Side Up Show (SSU) airs live, every day, out of the Sunshine Barn (the studio) with Chica (preschool chicken puppet) and one of the four hosts. The show goes live at 8:50am and ends at 12pm. The show is laid out as an interstitial, so it airs in between other shows and…

I’m Mallory Sullivan, an Account Management Ad major and my first taste of an agency upstaged all my expectations and truly blew me out of the water. My experience as a media intern at Lev Lane Advertising has reinforced that determination, time management and persistence pay off to obtain a job. This internship has further instilled these qualities in me so that I can be confident in my abilities and experience to be rehired elsewhere or promoted to a paying position. Secondly, and maybe the most important lesson I gained from my involvement at Lev Lane, is to never pass…
