I also organized and produced photo-shoots for promotional materials. I prepared every DVD case for sale. Also, I attended conventions for the purpose of promoting the movie, as well as selling copies of it and other Scotchworthy merchandise. During one of these I had a large picture of me published in a national magazine, Fangoria, that was hosting one of the conventions. I also did an interview providing information that was published in an article about Scotchworthy written in the Scot Light.
Chelsea Jones. Internship in Marketing, Volunteer Services, and Guest Services, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum in Springfield, IL, summer 2008
Over the summer, I worked three days a week in three different departments of the museum. In the marketing department, I called and sent brochures to various businesses in towns all across the country to promote a traveling Lincoln Bicentennial exhibit. In the volunteer services department, I worked with the hundreds of volunteers, answered phones, made copies, and wrote newsletters and press releases. Finally when working in guest services, I welcomed and sold tickets to the thousands of visitors and answered any questions they may have had.
During this internship I was able to take part in various assignments including: composing an e-mail media kit for 1,250 students and 200 media outlets for hometown press releases, supervising and scheduling webcast personnel for spring semester sporting events, photographing various sport competitions, and promoting and advertising the "Think Pink" project with the Monmouth College Women's Basketball team to raise money for breast cancer awareness.
Nicole Lynch. Broadcast Intern, WMOI 97.7 in Monmouth, Illinois, Fall 2008.
I will be creating, editing and promoting P.S.A. promos at the station. I begin my internship in the fall of 2008. This experience will introduce a more in-depth look in the radio broadcasting field. This opportunity will allow me to get a clear understanding of radio broadcasting and the different levels of communication. I hope to gain more knowledge and charisma from this experience, so I can apply it to my professional and personal life.
Glenwood is a not-for profit school for under privileged children whose parents are trying to get back on their feet and need a safe and nurturing place for their children to attend school. The children live there during the week and go home on the weekends. I worked with the event planners who are responsible for bringing in the money that keeps the school open. We planned one major golf outing event, and I worked on invitations for another as well as MANY other small projects.
Andrew McLaren. Independent Study in Film Making, Monmouth College, Spring 2009.
I will creating a independent film during my second semester of my senior year here at Monmouth College. I will be writing the script, filming, editing, and presenting the final product to the Communication faculty at Monmouth College. I plan on asking some people if they would be interested in being my film crew and holding auditions for actors who are interested in being in my film. I hope to enter my film for the film festival at the end of the year at Monmouth College and any other film festivals that I can get it into on time.

Glam Media consists of a vertical content network, which enables them to exceed a reach of 77M unique visitors, making them the number one online destination for women.

I will be working all aspects of summer sports with children as well as reinstating recycling facilities in the DuPage area, similar to my duties two years ago on the Monmouth College campus.
Felicia Roberts. Marketing and Development Intern, Wesley Village Campus-Macomb Illinois, May 19 – August 15, 2008
My internship was very educational. I wrote many press releases. I helped finish up pre-planned events and put together one main event in August. I worked with many different Microsoft programs to create mailing lists and posters. I overall did many different things that helped me prepare for a real job.
The internship was an incredible experience for me. This internship made my choice clear that I would definitely want to work for ESPN again and in the programming aspect of the company. I learned many things from working at ESPN, not only how to learn to use the millions and millions of dollars of equipment but the professional experience that came with the internship. They had a programming, sales, and special events internship at ESPN and I believe that interns gain the most knowledge and experience from the Programming Internship position. The people were very nice and very helpful if you had questions about what you were doing. This internship was a dream come true and if I do not end up receiving a position at ESPN after college, the experience and memories alone will always be one to remember
I am currently an intern with the Wellness Center at the Huff Athletic Center . My work there will be more on the PR side of things than on delivering health and fitness programming. My duties include updating the campus websites, as well as all boards on campus with programming announcements and advertising. Along with that I will be doing promoting events on campus, for example, Stress Relief Week and any other events the Wellness Center plans on doing.
