during her time abroad in London, specifically communication &

presentation skills, and business management & marketing

reporting concepts. Kaylin connected with Indeed.com through

the Center for Career Development’s (CCD) Job & Internship

Database while abroad & interned in Client Services this Spring.

In addition to her studies & time with Indeed.com, Kaylin

interned with Inspiria Media, Chic City Life & Plitz’s Fashion

Marketing while working for the CCD as an Office Assistant & as

a CCD Street Team Member. Kaylin also created & writes The

Intern Diaries, a blog offering advice about #internprobs, that

can be found at yourresidentintern.wordpress.com.

As we say goodbye to

Digital Media Production major Jeanine Strother

will be returning to her home town of Ocala,

Florida after graduation to further develop her

business, Lady Strother Productions, which

provides photography, videography, graphic

design and splash screen work to a variety of

clients. Her most recent project was filming

Nendir Parradang is an International

Studies major with a double minor in

Creative & Professional Writing and

French. In the Fall she is headed to

NYU for graduate school. Nendir

was accepted into St. John’s,

Northeastern University & the New

School but decided on NYU’s

Master of Arts program in

International Relations because it is the most comprehensive

program related to her interests. Nendir hopes to become a

diplomat for the Nigerian Consulate and a political writer. She

decided to attend graduate school directly after Manhattan-

ville to build on the momentum of being a student so that she

can continue to immerse herself in international studies. When

asked what helped her gain acceptance to so many graduate

programs, she said she “has a strong feeling that working with

the International Relations Department here at Manhattan-

ville, speaking a foreign language, her internship with the UN

Office Of Drugs & Crime in Nigeria, as well as her writing minor

all helped her candidacy.” Her advice for students considering

grad school: “Be sure about what you want to study,

look closely at schools and don’t be afraid to call those

schools and ask specific questions, and start your

search early!”

This semester I was lucky enough

to snatch up the Marketing &

Communications internship in the

CCD. Once there, I was shown the

ropes on using Social Media sites

(such as Facebook and Twitter) to

promote CCD events and services.

I created the CCD’s Instagram account, which gained

over 100 followers within a week of its launch. The

entire staff made sure that I was comfortable with my

internship, and that I wasn’t feeling overloaded with

my coursework. As a freshman, I was nervous about

interning; I felt that I didn’t have enough experience in

my topics to actually do well. I decided to apply anyway,

and I am so happy that I did. Each counselor was more

than willing to help me move forward with my first

internship and it was a fun learning experience.

Everyone at the CCD is friendly, from the student

employees to the counselors. I learned a lot about

social media & different computer programs . I was so

happy to join the CCD team & it’s going to be hard to let

them go… Luckily for me, I’ve got 3 more years of

resume & cover letter reviews to go, so I’ll get to

see them often!!
