Dina Younes (Finance)
Northwestern Mutual
“The highlight of my internship was receiving an invitation to attend Northwestern Mutual’s Annual Meeting in Milwaukee. This meeting granted me the privilege to connect and gain insights from many successful individuals in the finance industry. Serving as a window into the corporate realm, it revealed the boundless possibilities that a finance degree can offer.”
Rachel Bologna (Marketing)
United Wholesale Mortgage
“Every year at United Wholesale Mortgage, they host a Summer Team Member vs. UWM select basketball game. Our CEO, Mat Ishbia, played alongside MSU basketball players Mateen Cleaves, Charlie Bell, Adam Wolfe, Kelvin Torbert and many others. My friend and I got the opportunity to be the announcers for the game and call the names of the players. It was an awesome experience and super fun to meet the players and be a part of it.”
Amy Brothers (MBA)
Intel
“I was surrounded by an amazing team and leaders who wanted me to do well and to have a successful end to my project. I wanted my project to succeed because it would help my whole team to become more effective and efficient. I was driven by that understanding. I was in a healthy growth environment that encouraged learning, innovation, curiosity and initiative — all that make up who I am — and it strengthened my character.”
Tyler Dahms (Hospitality Business)
Palmer House
“The Palmer House was a hotel that I first grew attached to as a young boy, staring up at the lobby ceiling for the first time in dumbstruck awe. Being able to work for Hilton at this historic hotel was incredible because not only can I now count myself among a part of its 153+ year almost-nonstop operation, but I also learned from every department in the hotel.”
Meg Seetha (Supply Chain Management)
Crowe LLP
“My favorite experience has really been making numerous connections across Crowe! Whether that be going to a Cubs game with my team, networking with peers at a Crowe rooftop happy hour or participating in and winning the company intern case competition with my intern group, I’ve gotten to know so many people and form valuable relationships. Experiencing the positive company culture paired with Chicago’s vibrant city life was amazing!”
Ellie Plunkey (Marketing)
ImpacTrip
“This summer, I had the amazing opportunity to have a business internship in Lisbon, Portugal. My time in Portugal was a life-changing experience that broadened my horizons and taught me to truly cherish the simple things in life. I was always surrounded by people from the community, which gave me the chance to meet so many amazing people and truly learn more about their culture.”
Maddison Rizzo (Human Resource Management)
Madison Square Garden
“During my time at Madison Square Garden, I gained valuable insights into the process of hiring new employees. I had the opportunity to be part of every step, from discovering potential candidates to helping them start their jobs smoothly. As a student associate, I honed my communication skills, learned to create effective plans and became more adaptable to changes in a fast-paced environment, all of which boosted my confidence and readiness to make meaningful contributions to the field of HR in the future.”
Andrew Ruotsala (Supply Chain Management)
Amway
“My favorite part of this internship was finally being able to bring the tools learned in the classroom to my dream field. The knowledge gained from my supply chain education helped set me off on the right foot from day one. This allowed me to network with respected company stakeholders effectively and to expedite my professional development. At the same time, this knowledge aided heavily with my intern project work!”
Shri Abhiraami Thangavel (M.S. in Business Data Science and Analytics)
Roosevelt Innovations
“My favorite experience was interacting with the people and attending events conducted by Delta Dental and Roosevelt Innovations. There were lots of networking events, team building events and intern mixer events just for interns.”
Kareena Boyina (Supply Chain Management)
EY
“One thing I learned during my internship was being comfortable with uncertainty. My manager often put me in challenging environments as an opportunity for me to think on my feet and adapt to a fast-paced environment. During these moments, I learned how to use my resources and think of difficult topics from a diverse and unique perspective.”
Linsey Nichols (Hospitality Business)
The Walt Disney Company
“I learned about working with individuals with different personalities and to be yourself. Working for a luxury wedding line like Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings, I thought every single person would be all business, no time for fun. That was not the case at all. I learned that behind every company are people just like you and me. People who love to talk about their pets, kids, what their holiday traditions are and so much more. I’ve learned that by slowing down, paying attention to small details and not just doing the assignments that are given to you, but by being yourself and going the extra mile, you’ll make much more of a positive impact on your company and clients.”
Niya Patel (Supply Chain Management)
Dell
“My favorite experience has been meeting other interns from all over the world. I created lasting friendships and fostered meaningful relations with executives as well. Furthermore, I was able to gain experience with real-life business problems, which made my work more impactful and allowed me to truly immerse myself into the business.”
