“The semester I spent as an intern with the O’Connell Center was one of the best learning experiences of my life. On a daily basis I was given the opportunity to apply concepts learned in the classroom to real world events. In addition to the events, I was able to work with a professional staff that was always willing to answer my questions and help me develop the skills necessary to pursue my future career goals.”
