My Take-Aways

I have learned a lot this semester from my position as a marketing intern. I have gained knowledge on project management, communication, and organization.

I enjoyed this job because I feel like I was actually bettering the environment by promoting sustainability efforts. It feels good to do the outreach, and then see how many people were involved in the CLO event!
