Melanie Wilson, ‘06, NBC, New York, NY, says:
"I have a great internship, working for NBC. It's a great way to transition from the classroom to the working world. I talk to promotions directors from across the country on a daily basis. I get to attend meetings about the future of the network. I even got to help produce things with Katie Couric, Al Roker, and Brian Williams! As I send out my resume over the next few months, I know that this experience is going to give me a great edge in a competitive industry, and that's a really great feeling."
