Hear from our students

I completed my MBA internship in Washington, D.C. at the Heritage Foundation as a Media and Public Relations Intern. In addition to intern programming, guest lectures, and the occasional trip to visit DC’s landmarks, I received hands-on experience working in the nation’s leading conservative think tank. In my role, I synthesized top news stories into talking points distributed to over 5,000+ radio stations daily, managed media databases, and drafted pitch emails to national and international media outlets. Additionally, I had the opportunity to network with other young professionals in D.C.
