"I notice almost every day how this internship experience prepared me for my current (and future!) roles at Facebook. Project management, internal and external communication, graphic design and storytelling are some of the examples of skills I learned during my internship that have been integral in growing in my career. I can honestly say my life would be very different if I hadn’t joined the the program."

"This internship was such a pivotal part of my college experience and post-college career. Unlike traditional internships, there was no sitting at a desk all day long and making coffee runs, but an experience that mirrored and prepared me for an actual full-time position. This is a program that offers a solution for a common critique of higher-education today: true real-world experience. As a student who was unsure of what I wanted to do once I graduated, the staff was supportive in letting me work on projects that helped me explore my interests. No two days we’re the same. I had the opportunity to see how the work I did directly impacted the University, being seen by thousands of students. I credit this internship for helping lead me to a job I love."

"Being a Content Studio intern prepared me for the real world. After I received my degree in Graphic Design I accepted a position with Hallmark Cards in Kansas City. As soon as I started, I noticed similarities between creative reviews with my Hallmark Art Director and how I reviewed design work with my MSU mentors. After working as a Designer on multiple card lines for a few years now, I've been told that I explain my concepts and design choices with great detail. Looking back, I made so many new and close friends in the program. We still stay in touch to this day!"

"Interning for the MSU Content Studio skyrocketed me into my dream career. It prepared me for my first NYC internship which prepared me for my first NYC job. Not only did the experience give the skills and tools to succeed at my job, but it also taught me how to thrive in a team environment. From team meetings and presentations to interviewing and content creation — I not only knew how to do my job but I knew how to collaborate with others. The best way to learn and grow at an internship is to network, be a team player, and soak up as much knowledge as possible. The MSU Content Studio fosters that like no other."
