Student Testimonials

"Going through the internship course with the UNLV Department of Communications Studies truly set me up for success after
Sage Sammons, BA Communication Studies, 2012
graduation. I was able to gain an internship with the UNLV Athletic Department and the course work assigned by the college was
open enough to allow me to learn during my internship but also held me accountable each week and gave me the ability to reflect
on what I learned. My internship laid the foundation and gave me the experience needed to obtain employment following graduation."
Communications Director, Vegas Golden Knights

"After completing the internship program with the Communication Studies Department at UNLV, I feel prepared to begin my journey on a new
Aubrie Curci, BA Communication Studies, 2020
career path. Through my internship at United Way of Southern Nevada (UWSN), I have grown both professionally and personally. It was amazing
to see my work inspire members of our community to participate in philanthropic events and make generous donations to important causes.
This experience enabled me to explore various aspects of my professional self and helped me determine the career path I want to take."
