Getting the Scoop on Internships

We have just moved to ONCE a month meetings instead of bi-weekly meetings, and our ONLY November Chapter meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 5:00 p.m. in Craig 330. It is free for members and $3 for nonmembers, so invite your friends!


Let us give you "The Scoop on Internships", literally. Ice cream will be provided by Dairy Queen to accompany our night full of internship discussion. There will be four student panelists (Megan Haeffle, Sara McClendon, Susan Venker and Kim Perry) ready to share their experiences in Springfield non profit and corporate internships and in internships from more urban areas like New York. 

Each student will get a folder filled with:
  • Current internship opportunities in Springfield, Kansas City and more.
  • A guide on landing the right internship
  • Information about getting credit for in the department for your internship
  • Tips from a conference call with Laura Berger, The Intern Queen
  • A recipe to making the blueberry yogurt pictured here thanks to OneOrdinaryDay 
Bring your questions and your sweet tooth!

More Information on Student Panelists:
  • Kim Perry, senior PR/Media student, interned at Le Metier de Beaute in New York City at their Public Relations/Communications Intern.
  • Megan Haeffle, senior PR student, worked as the Grassroots Marketing Coordinator for Hollywood Theater College Station in downtown Springfield this past summer.
  • Sara McClendon has been interning in the Development Department at Ozarks Food Harvest in Springfield since last spring and will be continuing to work there after graduation. They are currently looking for a new Public Relations Intern, and it is paid!
  • Susan Venker will be talking about her experience as a non paid intern in the Media Relations department at St. John's hospital and her partially paid internship with the Pard Board in Springfield.
