CHSS Student 2024 Summer Internships: History student Elisabeth Bodin πŸ’šπŸ’›

This past summer, Bodin worked as an Education Intern with the 1882 Foundation, located in Washington D.C.'s Chinatown.

"At 1882, I work on creating educational materials for local school districts on Asian-American history, with a focus on Chinese-American communities in and around Washington, DC.," says Bodin.

Bodin's George Mason courses have laid the foundation for internship success. "Most of my classes invite students to broaden their understandings of the past, and this encouragement of expanding how we learn about history impacts how I create educational materal. Many professors have also encouraged more hands-on means of learning about and for sharing history prior, and I feel this undoubtably enhanced my internship experience."

CHSS Student Summer Internships: Dept. of Communication, Mason student Sachita Pandey πŸ’šπŸ’›

Sachita Pandey is currently a Social Media and Communication Intern at the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution in D.C.

"In the Communication department, every course places a strong emphasis on the skills of researching, analyzing, and writing, allowing students to prepare content across a wide range of topics," says Pandey. "To be able to apply this knowledge practically during my internship while preparing creative content for various platforms is amazing!"

Her advice for making the most out of your internship? Starting conversations! "Small talk is your pathway to strike up a conversation that will lead to you making genuine connections with people and will ultimately help you network. And as we all know, networking is very, very important!

CHSS Student Summer Internships: COMM student Mia Simmons πŸ’šπŸ’›

Mia Simmons is currently a Communications & Marketing Intern with Mason Facilities.

"I love that my internship allows me to expand on creative interests that I have had for years," says Simmons. "The graphic design and multimedia skills that I am developing at Mason Facilities are integral experience for my future career in production."

The most valuable lesson she's learned as an intern? The importance of gaining experience in her field.

Welcome to our new series showcasing the dynamic world of CHSS student summer internships! πŸ’ΌπŸ’šπŸ’›

GLOA student Adam Sherinian is currently an intern at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia.

"I love being in Armenia," Sherinian says. "And being able to conduct business in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Russian, and Armenian!"

Sherinian's advice to other CHSS students? Be proactive!
"Ask for more responsibilities (if you can handle it), request feedback, and initiate contact and connect with interesting people both inside your workplace and out - not just your superiors and direct colleagues. I've gotten the most out of this internship and out of past internships by doing this, and it's a great way to learn more and to build a more robust foundation for your future career."
