This is a chance for no more than a dozen advertising or PR students to work as strategy
interns with Wally Snyder, the Past President of the American Advertising Federation,

great independent advertising strategy consultants, as they attempt
to design a "brand manifesto" for America’s child abuse neglect and prevention

over the evenings of April 5-8. The internships can be entirely voluntary, or taken for one
credit if the student chooses.

Snyder-Lantz Intern from the Chairperson of the Department of Advertising, Public Relations,
and Advertising, Michigan State University.

Previous Internship Program Participant Testimonial:
“Not only has this internship improved my professional skills, but I found a passion for educational issues that I wasn’t aware I possessed. During my first two weeks at MACAE, I had met the organization’s board members, done general office duties, attended House and Senate hearings on important education bills and been given huge responsibilities regarding the MACAE newsletter, because that aspect of MACAE matched my career goals. Within a month, I had established source relationships with professionals throughout the state. This internship has helped me develop into a professional young woman, ready to enter the workforce. When I began, I still hoped to work as a copy editor after graduation. Within two weeks, my mind was set on finding a job in education. Without this internship, I wouldn’t have discovered a whole new world of possibilities that would bring out the fire within me. I believe that my career will be greatly impacted by this valuable internship.”

Tips for your internship
Here are some tips:
Be prepared.
Read up on the company before you get there. Know something about the advertiser's products and markets or the agency's clients and whatever else is critical to your employer's growth and profitability. Talk to anyone who has done an internship at the company before. One clever idea is to write your "What I learned this summer" report before you start the job, and make sure you do learn all that you hope to learn.
Don't wait for work to be assigned.
When you arrive on the job, find out what needs to be done and volunteer to do it. Don't be a nuisance. But don't be a wallflower, either. Ask questions. Ask to be included in meetings. (If you are invited to attend meetings be sure to ask what attire is appropriate, in advance.) Get to know the professionals around you. Learn what they do. Help all you can.
Don't get discouraged.
If there's dumb work to be done, do it with a smile, quickly and well. Be interested in everyone. Even in the worst situation, there's a lesson: "How to do things better someday when it's your turn."
Write objectives.
What do you want to accomplish? What do you want to learn? Write out your objectives. Share them with the employer’s internship site coordinators when you interview. It is best to get your aspirations up front. Your site coordinator will respect that forthrightness.
