Intern Testimonials

“I wasn’t much of a marketing person before this internship; now, the idea of social media posts excites me and contributing to marketing campaigns is one of my favorite tasks. I also learned about the ticketing side of the Dome, including Ticketmaster, how to handle customers, and how our percentage of ticket revenue is calculated. I met industry professionals and was pushed to develop audience engagement.”

“What an eclectic internship! I learned the financial side of how the O’Connell Center works and how the inputs (i.e. employee records, event settlements, payroll, etc.) lead to a coherent output that is our sporting events and shows. A few examples of the opportunities I had at the Dome included photographing basketball games, researching potential artists, and reconciling our purchasing cards – a wide variety of activities that made every day different.”
