Information Technology Intern

October - November 2022 • Kennesaw, GA

What I liked

I liked how helpful all the team members were. I liked that I got a tour of the school. I learned about the benefits they offered, and how KSU was one of the top schools in Georgia. The best part was that I got a full-time job afterwards!

What I wish was different

I wish I could have been under my Assistant Director longer, but she left the job to pursue other career dreams of hers. Regardless my experience has been amazing.

Advice

It’s okay not having as much knowledge as you think you should! I was taught everything and more and never felt like I was inadequate even though I was just an intern.
