Student Internship Testimonials

The College of Arts and Sciences Internship Office helped me set up my learning outcomes and support with time management.

The [CAS internship] program was straightforward and very helpful. [Through the CAS Internship Office] you get to see progressively how you're doing and it makes you realize there's a purpose behind what you're doing rather than just a job.

I really appreciate the opportunities that UNE allows for students to participate in internships.

This internship allows me to see the unique ways modern technology can be used in [treatment] techniques. I can learn about the equipment [used] to evaluate new clients and the tools during adjustments, which are all connected to my neuroscience major.

My internship has helped me know for sure that I am on the right track of doing what I love.

The CAS Internship Office has been extremely helpful in helping me find an internship that suits me. I was able to describe what I was looking for in an internship and they helped me find a site that provided me with that experience.

All of my classes on the marine track have been really great. I can apply a lot of that knowledge to my internship.

My UNE education is helping my internship, but my internship is also helping further my education. A lot of the stuff that I am learning this summer, I'm very excited to take back to school with me and talk to my professors about.

My internship experience will help me moving forward mostly on the social side of environmental consulting.

I was able to dress and act as historical characters and even learned how to fire a musket!

I am grateful that UNE provides internship opportunities for students while they’re in school because it provides on-the-ground experiences that you aren’t able to get in the classroom.

I took a sport marketing class where we had to create a new promotional concept for the Portland Seadogs baseball team...[eventually], I got a call saying that they would like me to be an intern for the upcoming season. I’m so thankful to my professors and UNE for allowing me to have these unique opportunities.

UNE offers a lot of hands-on experience — there is a focus on internships. Professors want you to do more than one because they want you to have the hands-on experience to figure out exactly what you’re interested in.

From my summer internship experience, I realized that I really enjoyed the outreach part of the job. I liked finding ways to make these issues matter to the general public.

I really, really loved my internship [at Planned Parenthood]. I learned so much about advocacy work and how challenging it can be. It steered me in the direction of women’s rights law, which is what I’m leaning towards now.

I am 100% positive that I would not be in this amazing position without my internship.

My internship opportunity has given me the chance to get out on the road, and practice the entire video production process from start to finish, more than just [completing] video assignments from a class.
