In the Words of the Vikings

Tanner DeMarco, ’24, Breanna Marchewka, ’24, and Lucas Mendes, ’24, earned their required internship hours with the Bisons in the Spring and Summer of 2024. From the press box to the dugout, these Vikings are bringing Buffalo baseball to life!

Explore Your Opportunities

There’s no better way to prepare for a successful career than to participate in an internship.

Think of an internship as an opportunity to get a sneak peek into your future. You’ll have the opportunity to work in your chosen field while experiencing the is-and-outs of the business and living “a day in the life.” You’ll help support projects you will eventually manage on your own, meet clients you might eventually work with, learn the software you’ll eventually need to master, and more. Most importantly, you’ll be strengthening your resume, building your portfolio, and creating your own professional network.

Wondering where you’ll complete your internship hours? Below are some of the companies with which the Vikings have worked. You can use this list as a starting point for your own search or you can add to it!

After Your Internship

In fulfillment of your internship course, you’ll be required to detail one of the projects that you worked on in a presentation to Villa’s faculty, staff and administration. You will be asked to share the learning goals you set for yourself at the beginning of your internship, analyze how those goals were met, and share samples of your work. Additionally, you will update your resume to include you new work experience, write a thank you letter to your internship supervisor and receive an evaluation.
