Internships are crucial for students to apply classroom knowledge, gain practical experience, and explore career interests. We are thrilled that our students fully engage in these professional development opportunities and companies see a tangible impact from student contributions! We get even more excited when the raw talent of our students is refined by one of our program's alumni.

Participated in various interviews that took place during my internship. I explained to new hires the expectations of their job for the summer, which also included going over the employee handbook. What I liked: I liked putting the knowledge I learned from classes into the real world. There were a ton of different things I learned about what it takes to own a small business. I enjoyed that I was able to try so many new things to see find out more about what I enjoy doing when it comes to owning a small business. Future Dream Job: My dream would be to own a small business that develops properties for short-term rental.

🌟 Wrapping Up My Summer Internship Adventure! 🌟 As my summer internship comes to an end, let me take you on a quick, humorous journey of how it all started. I always dreamed of working with big brands. Either a major name like the one I landed or an internship with a fabulous stipend—LOL, guess which one I got? (Hint: my wallet's still crying 😂). But hey, luck aside, this internship taught me something far more valuable than a hefty paycheck: the importance of learning. Not going to lie, I didn't know Thumbs Up was a Coca-Cola product. Spoiler alert: it is! But jokes aside, I learned an incredible amount about how a company operates at the grassroots level. From understanding product demand to seeing how retailers engage through various promotional activities to boost sales, it was an eye-opening experience. Watching Market Growth Representative (MGRs) perform their on-field duties was like getting a front-row seat to a business masterclass. It’s been an insightful journey, packed with knowledge and growth. As I look forward to my next chapter, I can’t help but feel grateful for this experience. Until then, it’s goodbye and cheers to new beginnings! 🥂 #InternshipJourney #SummerInternship #LearningExperience #BigBrands #BusinessInsights #GoodbyeForNow

With the semester underway, I wanted to be sure that I highlight the wonderful experience I had interning at fairlife this summer! If you’ve spoken to me anytime within the last four months, I very likely mentioned how great of a time I was having, but here’s a quick recap just in case. I worked as the Channel & Customer Strategy Intern, under the management of the awesome Rebecca Cohen. I learned more about large grocery stores than I thought I ever could (just ask my college friends – we can no longer take a trip to the store without me sharing some fun facts about how they run)! In this role, I created insight-rich slides for 2024 plans, utilized my Excel skills to develop charts and calculations, helped create slides for the sales team to use in conversations with retailers, built summary Mekko charts, went on market/store visits to observe consumers and understand how a product gets to shelf, and learned how to use both Numerator and Nielsen IQ Discover to pull some really interesting reports. I also took a trip to the National Restaurant Association Show in McCormick Place, where I learned all how CPG companies develop, test, and market new products. In my main project, I made strategic recommendations based on data and insights as to how fairlife can compete with the growth of competitors. The final report was over 60 slides long and covered multiple topics, and I was so proud to present it to multiple teams within the company. HUGE thanks to Rebecca Cohen – her leadership and openness made my experience 100 times better, and I loved how many projects she involved me in. Thank you as well to Lauren Sellers, who planned a one-of-a-kind internship experience. (Our onboarding week was a blast, and I loved being able to travel to Coopersville and see a plant in person!) My team (Dean Weber, MBA, Dawn Helle-Peck, and Chris Ohmstede) were always supportive and taught me so much about the differences between all the channels. Ashley Lecheler and Eileen Thanner both gave great advice throughout the span of my internship and were always available to answer questions I had. In general, thank you to the WHOLE team at fairlife, LLC – it truly was the greatest internship experience I could have asked for. Finally, thank you to Andrew Bryant, who encouraged me to apply for this internship – you said that you thought I’d enjoy it, and you were right! Internship applications are open now! If you have questions about my experience, I’d love to chat more about it!

Let's talk about IMPACT! We're into Week 2 of Summer Internships at Walmart! Leading up to summer internships, I've had awesome discussions with interns on the question, "How do I crush my internship?" Let's discuss "Crushing it!" One crucial piece of advice is to treat your internship as if it's a full-time job. Show up on time, meet your deadlines, and be professional. Understand the company and team's missions and how your role and project (s) contributes to it. Show initiative, go beyond your assigned tasks, and never be afraid to ask questions. And yes, you can always talk to your recruiter. I promise all interns that this level of commitment and dedication will not go unnoticed and can open doors for future opportunities. Lastly, "Embrace the journey!" That is a line I use on my email signatures and holds true to everyone's career journey.
