The best thing that you can do TODAY for your college experience is to participate in an internship.  

"As an employer, when I interview a candidate that has held an internship in the past, it is evident to me the degree of professionalism, leadership and communication skills, among countless others, that he or she has learned.  It is because of these skills that I truly benefit from hiring employees with an internship experience" notes Angela Kundert, Recruiting Supervisor, Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Don't delay - start now to explore internships and how they will help you to reach your goals upon graduation from UW-Green Bay!
