Experiential Learning:
Internships and More
Where Our
Students Intern
When looking for that all-important
first job after graduation, experience
matters. That’s why every student in
our Colleges of Arts and Sciences,
Business, and Engineering has the
opportunity to gain career practice
outside of the classroom through
professional learning experiences.
An internship is an opportunity to learn
new skills and impress potential employers. It’s a time to explore new and exciting
career directions and get a glimpse into
what life holds for you after graduation.
Traditional internships are work-forcredit programs that give students the
opportunity to use and improve their
practical skills in a professional organization while networking with potential
employers. The experience and contacts
gained give students a competitive
advantage in the job market.
Student teaching allows students in
Elementary or Secondary Education
programs to teach classes in local
schools under the supervision of a
licensed teacher. Between making
lesson plans, giving lectures, and oneto-one tutoring, our students gain the
skills and confidence to transition to
full-fledged teachers.
Senior Design Projects are comprehensive experiences where engineering
students solve a real-world design
problem. Projects are often sponsored
by a real company, such as Shriners
Hospitals for Children, Lenox Tools,
FloDesign Sonics, Inc., or Texas
Instruments, which adds expertise
and mentorship elements to the learning process.

Jorrel took on two challenging internships
during his college career. He interned at
Calloway Golf, helping the golf course plan
a building expansion to optimize space
within a specified budget. In another
internship, Jorrel worked with field repair
mechanics at Otis Elevator.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Jorrel says his education made him well
prepared for such diverse undertakings.

ready to work in a practical setting.

“Western New England University interns are given skills
both in and out of the classroom that allow them to understand and implement real life sport management scenarios.
They have helped our company by contributing in numerous
areas of sport. We require our interns to become part of the
staff and learn all areas of facility management. Our interns
have completed such projects as inventory control, security
operations, event staffing needs, and any other element that
is needed to successfully manage a 40,000-seat stadium.”

Brooke Kirastoulis, Senior
Accounting (Five-year Bachelor/MSA)
Longmeadow, MA
In her junior year, Brooke Kirastoulis
aced a grueling interview process to earn
a prestigious internship with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). With the help of
the University’s Career Development
Center, Brooke was able to impress the
“Big Four” firm.
“My career counselor helped refine my
résumé and discussed career options and
opportunities,” Brooke said. “I also set up
a mock interview, which made me feel
more confident.”
After accepting an internship offer, Brooke
hit the ground running during her time
at PwC. She began to work in auditing,
and was assigned to a team to support
a specific client. This group dynamic gave
Brooke an opportunity to network and get
face time with industry professionals.
“One unique aspect of the PwC internship
is their mentorship program,” Brooke explained. “I was assigned mentors at different levels within the firm. It allowed me to
get advice from the perspective of professionals at various stages in their careers.”
Brooke’s internship at PwC was so successful that the company offered her a
full-time job after graduation. In the future,
Brooke would also like to pursue her Ph.D.
and teach accounting.

Cammy Cross-Maddox ’14
Communication
Springfield, MA
Like many undergraduates, Cammy CrossMaddox came to the University eager to
explore her options. She took a variety of
courses to determine her interests and
career path. Ultimately, Cammy’s resident
advisor inspired her to major in Communication. It turned out to be a perfect fit; she
loved making videos and working on camera. Her newfound passion culminated into
an internship with the local PBS TV station,
WGBY. “It was awesome,” said Cammy.
“I filmed political debates and got to meet
senators and mayors.”
“Beyond the courses you take, I feel that
college is a learning experience within
itself,” Cammy explained. “I started to
understand myself more and what I liked.
I realized that Communication was the
path for me. I love where I am now, and
I feel that my experience at Western New
England University truly helped me figure
that out.”
Cammy plans to apply her communication
skills in the fashion industry, and will be
attending the Massachusetts College of
Art to study fashion design.
