Huizenga Business School students continue to reap rewards from experiences gained during internships. During Winter-Term 2014, students worked in a wide variety of organizations.
Undergraduate–Marketing: Paiton Meurer, Blue Sol Yoga; David Patino, ShowRodeo; Melanie Alvarez Meneses, Yake Solar Power Corp.; Accounting/Finance: Enshante Starks, Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts; Kristel Tiwari, Ars Flores Symphony Orchestra.
Master’s students: Timica Anderson, Legair Financial Group, LLC; Hans Fredrik Jonviken, Murray & Associates LLC; Vijay Kundnani, NSU OIT Strategic Support Services; Claudia Martinez, EPI Trading; Marie-Grace Michel, Ultimate Software; Karan Minnis, DVG Builders, Inc.; Amit Mahbubani, TracFone Wireless; Pegah Noban, Ars Flores Symphony Orchestra; Coleen Richardson, Lord Breakspeare Callaghan, LLC.
Paiton Meurer managed social media, among other responsibilities, for a yoga studio, Blue Sol Yoga located in Weston. “My work proved the effectiveness of internet marketing,” said Meurer. “My biggest accomplishment was the 4th Anniversary Party: we exceeded our goal of two thousand attendees and had a lively, festive party. NFL Chicago Bears player Brandon Marshall was the special guest of Blue Sol owner, former NFL player, author, and entrepreneur Elton Patterson”.
David Patino has already received several offers for positions due to the expertise he has gained as the first intern for a start-up company. Watch for his video with the ShowRodeo “Skinny” segments.
Companies consistently report on the value to their companies by Huizenga Business School interns. Laura Talbert of TracFone Wireless commented, “We provided Amit with tasks and opportunities that most entry level employees here don’t get. I hope he learned as much as we did!”
Attention undergraduates–it isn’t too late to get course credit for summer internship positions. Contact your academic advisor or cwithrow@nova.edu for details.
