Opening Social & Senior Internship Reports 2010

“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” Job 32:8

This year our board decided that we would have a design theme for the year that would be: “Designers Who Know”. This theme was chosen as a way to gain inspiration for our student projects incorporating both scripture and design professional insight.

During the Opening Social seniors shared their internship experiences with both faculty and students. Seniors offered underclassmen helpful advice about obtaining internships for the future. Our seniors were able to work for industry professionals all over the country.
