More Importantly

The dedication day of Newhouse III is right around the corner, but that’s just one of the upcoming events Kristyn Lao, junior public relations major at Syracuse University, marked down on her calendar.

She’s more excited about NBC’s internship program.

NBC is recruiting students with Newhouse majors and taking them the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Students who wish to apply must submit their resumes and application forms by Tuesday, September 18. NBC Olympics will visit SU on Monday and Tuesday of the week of September 24 to conduct individual interviews.

“I think the internship is one of the most amazing experiences anyone could ever have,” said Lao. “I literally came to the school for this because when I was on a tour, I remember my tour guide had gotten this internship, and I thought ‘wow, that is amazing.’”

NBC offers three job positions including production associate, and each student will receive one academic credit for participation. The cost of the program is $2,500 per student, and the positions are approximately four weeks long, with the earliest start date on July 24, 2008, and the latest end date on August 27, 2008.
