Internships offer a great way to mentor young writers and communicators while providing vital assistance in your work. It’s an incredibly rewarding experience for all involved. Twenty years later, I still think about advice given me by Jim Bashline and my internship supervisors at Penn State. It’s a gift I can only repay by helping other young and beginning communicators.
