How-to Advice for Internship Success -- Wanting Zhu

I am a rising senior at Syracuse University Newhouse Communication School majoring in Advertising with a concentration in Media/Communication Planning and a minor in Data Analytics. This spring, I participated in the Newhouse NYC Program, which provides students with a unique opportunity to experience the industry firsthand in the vibrant city of New York. As a participant in the program, I gained valuable insights and experiences during my internship at MediaVillage.

Looking back on my internship experience, I gained valuable knowledge and skills from the initial interview to collaborating with team members and attending workshops. The hands-on tasks, such as organizing the MediaVillage subscriber database, designing analytic dashboards and exploring different data analysis software, allowed me to apply my creativity and technical abilities.
