Hi Maya!

Congratulations on the internship! I also got the chance to work for Temple as a social media intern for the epibio dept. I loved the fact that my content would be seen by my peers as well. Thank you for pointing out to look at Temple for internships/ jobs as well because I think we forget to look at our own school. This was a great blog post; I really enjoyed reading it!

Hey Maya!
I love that you got to work at Temple and be involved in so much that goes into our everyday lives as students and it sounds so cool! Sounds like you got a well-rounded experience and that is everything you could ask for and more. Congrats again! Can’t wait to see the future!

Congratulations on the internship opportunity! Your experience sounds so unique, I never thought twice about who designs Temple ITS emails, but I will certainly appreciate them more after reading this. I also had a chance to write copy, and as a brand strategy and research concentration is felt so foreign, but the opportunity has only improved my writing skills. It must be so cool working for a brand you already know and live in! Best of luck with whatever path you take next.

I really enjoyed reading about your experience with working with Temple’s Information Technology Services. It was interesting to read about your “behind the scenes” experiences, and I hope more students will pursue Temple University internships in the future as well.

Hi Maya,

First off, kudos to you for interning at Temple. I know there’s some great programs but I don’t know if I would do it. Your internship with ITS seems like it allowed for you to do a lot of creative things and develop skills that you weren’t expecting and that you can take with you further in your career. I’ve definitely grown to understand that feeling you describe of having your peers or mentors see your work and being proud of what you’ve put out for them to see. I’ll also make sure I check out the emails sent by Temple ITS to see some of the things you have worked on.
