Media Giants and HU Alum Visit Scripps Howard to
Share Internship Opportunities and Wisdom with Students

Looking for an internship in preparation for a career in journalism and communications?

Representatives from prominent media companies—including the New York Times Institute, Bloomberg, CBS, Google and the Scripps Howard Foundation—will visit the Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications in the coming weeks to give students a “heads up” about their internships. This is a rare opportunity to learn firsthand from media professionals the skills that media companies are looking for in new graduates, discuss the internship process and for students to have their burning career-related questions answers.  Hampton University alum will also be present to discuss their experiences and life/work after college.  Do not miss this chance to network and be a stand out!
