Major:Interdepartmental Studies
Internship with Department of Treasury
Washington, DC
Through this internship I was able to meet high ranking officials in the Department of Treasury. I helped organize the Cultural Diversity Awareness Events and Intern Events that were held for the Dept of Treasury employees. For events I worked on contacting local prominent figures to be keynote speakers and I helped design handouts and other materials.
While in DC I was able to work on my organizational skills and to work against tight deadlines. In order to promote the events, posters, ads and handouts had to be created which allowed me to work with several other departments.
This internship has prepared me to work well with others and taught me how to coordinate tasks with other departments to meet deadlines.
My favorite thing about this internship was the opportunity that I had to meet people. My internship allowed me to meet important figures such as; the Secretary of Treasury, the chief of staff and white house liaison.
The personal growth that you get from an internship will be life changing. The networking opportunities and the friends you make will help you with your future career goals. All the other interns I talk to took something away from our time in DC.
