Ferris Core Value Related to this Internship

One of Ferris’ core values I could really relate to my internship would be opportunity. The staff at Western were always more than willing to help me gain knowledge and experience. Every time I asked to learn something new, they were happy to teach and explain. All of the opportunities I had during my internship were because of my willingness to learn and grow.

Volunteer, Campus Involvement, and/or something special about you

Advisor for Other Students

My advice for students would be to get as involved as you can. College is what you make of it. The more involved and connected you are, the greater the experience.
