Expectations vs. Reality!

Hi Everyone! My name is Hannah, and I am a senior at Temple majoring in Advertising following the account management track. Three weeks ago I started a sales internship with Henry Schein’s dental division. Henry Schein is the worlds largest distributor of healthcare products and services! Before starting this internship I’ve always had an interest in pursuing a career in professional sales because I’m very personable, competitive and determined. I also admire the success of my family members and friends who make a killing in professional sales! I was super excited to start this internship with Schein because it would give…

Teamwork makes the dream work

My name is Chloe Johnson and I am interning at Temple Athletics in their Sports Marketing Department. More specifically I work with the Creative Services team within sports marketing. So far in my first three weeks working in this department I have learned a lot about the internal side of Temple Athletics. The creative team’s main function is to create content to promote athletic events, fundraising efforts and ultimately bring in revenue for Temple University.

This internship opportunity has been really eye opening for me because it is allowing me to combine two of my passions which are sports and graphic design. I have always been a visually creative and athletic person and those two things tend not to go hand in hand. So it is very exciting to finally be doing something that combines both of my skill sets. This experience has made me want to pursue combining these two passions in…

Network, Network, NETWORK!

                         Transferring to Temple University for the spring 2017 semester I felt a lot of emotions. I was excited for the challenge and new beginning yet anxious like a little kid the night before their first day of school. I was also nervous and a bit scared that I would be out of place. See, I wasn’t the traditional student. I went to college straight out of high school in 2009 but dropped out to enlist in the military. After enlisting, I started school again but due to the constant geographic and work schedule changes that came with my new…
