A single connection can change the course of your summer.

For Daniela Echavez ’26, a double major in psychology and markets & culture studies, one introduction led to an HR operations internship with Arm Candy, a Dallas advertising agency. Along the way, she gained hands-on experience, built her confidence and learned more about what it means to be a professional.

She’s one of many Mustangs who have spent their summer exploring career paths, making connections and gaining valuable experience outside the classroom!
