BUIES CREEK, N.C. – More than 230 Campbell Business students have enjoyed hands-on learning experiences and networking opportunities as a result of a summer internship following the 2015-16 academic year. The majority of student internships were solidified by Campbell Business Career Services and Professional Development Director Lisa Youngquist.
“Our employers are consistently drawn to the talent our students demonstrate,” said Youngquist. “There is something special our students offer comparatively and our employers are responding in kind. Campbell students are self-starters with a strong work ethic, a curiosity to learn more and an admirable sense of professionalism not found in many students today.”
In all, 109 PGA Golf Management students participated in a summer internship, while 78 Business Administration, 30 Trust & Wealth Management and 21 Healthcare Management students took advantage of Campbell Business relationships with a network of nationwide employers.
“Our level of internship participation is increasing substantially thanks to the efforts of Ms. Youngquist,” said Campbell Business Dean Dr. Kevin O’Mara. “These internships not only provide outstanding real-world experiences but very often lead to job offers upon graduation. Our students are fortunate to have these opportunities and it is very heartening to hear how well our students are being received by the employers.”
In addition to the 238 total internships, 62 recent graduates received offers for permanent full-time positions, including 25 from Business Administration, 23 from PGA Golf Management and 14 from Trust & Wealth Management.
