Intern Testimonials
"Being a Graf Intern is like being on the "Apprentice" x's 10! Plus the people that I get to work with are a lot nicer. I've been given the responsibilities and opportunities that I never thought a college student could have on this campus!"
"Since my internship I have been able to come in contact with staff and faculty that genuinely care about my growth as an individual and as a leader. I feel like everyday I gain more life experience that will help me be better able at guiding others and myself."
"This is the best job any student could have. The environment is so conducive to learning and growth. While I have continued to develop my professional skills through projects, I have a greater desire to help others with their own leadership development."
