Amanda C l eme n
Ipswich
Sophomore business management
major
Internship location:
Titan
Machinery in Aberdeen
“Meeting so many new and
interesting people has been a great
experience.
My internship is perfect
for someone who wants to work
in the agricultural business field. I
have made connections with farmers
who hopefully I will do business
with in the future. It has all been an
incredible opportunity.”
L aur e n D e adr i c k
Waconia, Minn.
Senior marketing major
Internship location:
Online social media marketing for
local thrift stores Buzy Kids, What Women Love and
Urban
“It has helped me to realize what I do enjoy about
social media marketing,
and what I don’t enjoy quite as
much. It is a very demanding aspect of marketing itself,
and I think it would be an interesting career to go into.”

Pierre
Senior management major

Legacy
Management (MyPlace of America

“The best part of my experience so
far is being able to network with
corporate, learn general manager
functions, and learn the hospitality
experience.”

AMANDA CLEMEN
Fifth-year senior international business major
Internship location:
Socomore, an aeronautic
chemical company based in Vannes, France
“The best part of my experience, so far, has
been living alone in a different country and
learning how to adapt to their customs.
I
enjoy what I do at Socomore, but the skills
I learn at work are much less exciting to me
than what I learn daily just being immersed in
French culture. I love walking into work every
day and ‘faisais la bises’ (giving two cheek
kisses) to each of my co-workers, a very normal
greeting in France. I think it’s invaluable to
learn how to adapt and be comfortable living
and working in a different place.”
Internship location:
Aberdeen Development
Corporation
“One of the best parts of my internship
this far has been making connections
with co-workers and others throughout the
community. I enjoy doing something different
every day and getting the chance to use my
creativity. I am grateful I was given this
opportunity and enjoy going to work here each
day.”
