Steps to get the internship: I emailed the contact info listed on UM's Career Center website.
Day to day activities: Each day I did graphic design work, wrote LTEs, took notes at meetings, attended public comment hearings in Lansing, attended press conferences, and updated the social media sites.
Most rewarding: I enhanced my graphic design skills.
Biggest challenge: The toughest thing was dealing with my boss who was not very good at communicating and listing expectations.
Most important thing learned: I do not want to go into non-profit work.
Key advice: Apply to as many places as you can and keep your options open.
