It's that time of year! The time where most of us are finally all settled and experiencing the fast-paced city life. My Pitt stop for the summer is at Burson-Marsteller in Pittsburgh, Pa., where I am taking part in the Harold Burson Summer Internship program. I arrived at the office a week late (6/12/2017) due to making it to the NCAA Track & Field National Championships in Eugene, Ore., which was the week of the actual start date. Needless to say, that first week at Burson was a crazy one for me as I was trying to get all caught-up on paperwork as well as starting some client work. As crazy as it sounds, I have already learned SO much in my one week of being here. This is absolutely not your run and get coffee or organize some papers internship. It is an internship with complete purpose. My office has already allowed me to dive right in and help out with many of their clients. I have been able to help out with creation of media lists, tracking media coverage, researching, pitching, brainstorming... you name it! On top of all that, I have been sitting in on HBSI trainings, which are basically hour-long seminars on all different areas of public relations and the company itself. While it may sound bland, it is actually extremely beneficial and interesting because I am able to learn directly from others working where I hope to be in the future. All in all, I anticipate the rest of my summer to be filled with incredible experiences, lots of learning and fun times exploring Pittsburgh. I have already made it to the Penguins Stanley Cup Parade with my colleagues, gone to a Pirates game and tried out some awesome new restaurants! Experience life with purpose; then you will learn beyond boundaries and grow taller than trees. ABOUT ME: My name is Hannah and I love all things public relations. I am a student at Penn State studying public relations with minors in psychology and entrepreneurship, and I am also a pole vaulter for the track team. What I love the most about public relations is that we need it in all areas of the world. I hope to work in a firm or large company after graduation (May 2018) as I know that I can bring creativity, motivation and a go-getter attitude wherever I end up.
