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.
