Shining Their Light

John McDonagh

Accounting 2020
Accounting Intern, DCK Worldwide

My internship has helped me better prepare myself for my future career as an accountant.

I have learned it is important to never be afraid to ask questions or ask for help because it is better to complete a project correctly than having to redo it. I have also learned how important excel is and I hope to continue to learn more about it.

Sara Jenkins

Marketing 2020
Tri-Branded Intern, Enterprise Rent-a-Car at Bradley International Airport

At my internship, I’ve learned a great deal about sales and have used the skills Assumption gave me.

I have also learned how to adequately contribute to a team while maintaining an individual journey with the company. I was ranked #1 on the Intern Matrix for the month of June at my branch.

Tim Power

Marketing 2020
Marketing Intern, Houston Sabercats Rugby Team

I’ve gotten a backstage look into the sports management and marketing world at my internship.

It is also extremely cool to be able to work in a place that isn’t the Northeast and see what the lifestyle is like in Texas. It’s very interesting to live somewhere different!

Austin Pinilla

Graphic Design 2018
Intern, Mars Media Productions

My classes allowed me to thrive at my internship and also greatly prepared me for life after school.

I eventually plan to move outside the country and work in South America with my family in Argentina as a videographer, photographer, UX, and designer. My internship helped me gain experience in these areas.

Sean O'Rourke

Accounting 2020
Business Tax Services Department, Deloitte & Touche Boston Office

At the Accounting Career Fair, I networked with several different companies - including Deloitte.

Because of Assumption, I have the understanding of the important accounting principles necessary to do the job, but I was also given the skills that go beyond the field of accounting which allowed me to distinguish myself from other applicants.

Nicole Marshall

Management 2017
Client Relationship Representative, IBM

Assumption provided me with motivating professors who cultivated my knowledge and skills.

The classes I took at Assumption truly helped me and gave me the extensive knowledge I needed to become well-rounded and knowledgeable of the business world.

Rahsaan Akbar

The Assumption community is very supportive and wants you to be just as successful as you want to be

Assumption prepared me for the roller coaster that’s life and helped me find my courage. I’ve learned things don’t always go as planned, but these experiences only helped me reflect on what I could improve on and how I could grow and become the best version of myself.

Keridan Harrington

Assumption has a lot to offer if you are willing to try new things!

Victoria Stowell

My success is a result of the faculty’s extensive knowledge and the Career and Internship Fair.

Katelyn Corriveau

I credit much of my success to the wonderful staff in the Career Development and Internship Center.

Because of their help, I can confidently say that they made me interview ready and helped me get my job with Amazon. The faculty and staff really care about the students and want them to succeed.
