February 14, 2016
STAC the Deck: Leveraging Internships for Success is a very exciting event
coming up for STAC students.
This event will entail six current students that will
speak about their amazing internship experiences. This event is open to all students
and will benefit everyone who comes! The speakers will cover everything about
their internships and share tips on how to get an amazing internship that could
potentially turn into a great career! Some of our speakers already landed awesome
jobs from their internships and they will be able to tell you all about that process as
well!
Our speakers are going to be, Connor Durkin who is working with ESPN,
Jenna Hutchins who writes for The Rockland County Times, Samantha Rosenthal
who is an editor for Popstar Magazine and worked with Teen.com and Popmania,
Inc, Meagan Jaskot who has interned for Disney but now is working for
Dreamworks, Pamela Rodriguez who works with the NFL, specifically with the New
York Jets and Lauren Morales who is working at Sports Illustrated.
Our event will take place on Thursday, March 3 from 7:00-8:30pm. Once the
speakers are finished, we will have a Q&A session and networking mixer from 8:30-
9pm where you will get the chance to have one on one discussions with any of the
speakers that may spark your interest. Following the mixer, we will have a raffle
that offers great prizes! From celebrity signed merchandise to gift cards to your
favorite restaurants, these prizes are ones that you won’t want to miss! Did I
mention there’s going to be free light refreshments as well!?
STAC The Deck is planned by the CA 322 Public Relations and Event Planning
class. They are learning about Public Relations by throwing this event for the
students and faculty. They are hands on in putting this event together and they are
involved in every aspect of it. It’s a learning experience for everyone involved and
we hope it will be one for the students who come as well!
This will be an amazing event that will leave you inspired and wanting to go
out there and get your dream internship! You will get pointers and tips straight from
experienced speakers who are willing to teach you everything they know about
successfully getting an internship. Stay tuned to STAC’s Twitter and Facebook pages
