Student Opportunities
Internships
The SMLC internship provides students experience with real-world application of social media listening data. Through various projects established by the leadership of the SMLC, students gain a deeper understanding of social media listening, client relationships, marketing strategies, and project management. SMLC employees also will provide input and lead client meetings to establish social media goals and how to best utilize the center. Additionally, interns may have the opportunity to provide live press coverage around events happening that semester.
