With the support of our dedicated internship coordinator (and Pratt’s internship fund), our students acquire invaluable internship experience. Hear from some recent graduates about why their internships mattered:
“This internship exposed me to the amazing world of book publishing, and helped me realize what I wanted to do for a future career. During my time [at Friedrich Agency] I read manuscripts, wrote reading reports, researched authors, scouted for new clients, wrote rejection letters, and learned the importance of the relationships between literary agents and their clients. I really felt like I was a part of the team and would highly recommend looking at literary agencies for an incredible interning experience.”
Kelsie
“I interned as a production assistant with Bonfire Radio doing social media [and] the show notes. The whole time I got training as an audio producer, which includes handling tech and software. I even started producing a show. If you want a good internship, look for people who want more than an intern.”
Gibran
“My internship experience at The Daily Show was invaluable because I got to help and experience the work that goes into putting on a live show. As an intern, there is a lot of labor that goes into running the show smoothly, whether it’s checking in audience members, going out on an errand, or answering phones at reception— it’s all needed. There was camaraderie within this internship that I had not experienced before. I left this job a little more confident about my future because the people who work there will take the time to answer your questions about television, the writing process, and all the different jobs that exist in this field. The Daily Show is a place I plan to keep in touch with for a long time!”
Katie P
“I couldn’t imagine interning at a more perfect place for me than Saturday Night Live. I was able to be on a live studio set and watch a show be written, produced and performed, all in one day. As an intern with Weekend Update, I’ve felt I served a very vital purpose in making sure the show runs smoothly week to week.”
Marisa
“My internship with Lambda Literary’s Writers in Schools Program was phenomenal — I worked with the director of the program to organize Lambda’s photo archive, record information for the upcoming year’s visits, and attend several author’s talks. I gained confidence in my communication skills, learned more about non-profit organizations, and was able to reflect on the importance of such programs in fostering tolerance and visibility of the LGBTQ community in schools.”
