Meet Jessica, an International Business Major and Spanish Minor at Widener

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Throughout my past four years at Widener, I have held four different internships. My first internship was at UPS Philadelphia as their student community outreach coordinator. My second internship was a front office intern at the Philadelphia Phillies. I attended in and after class excursion trip for a Q and A session for college students. And there, I kind of networked my way through all of the directors and it was the most incredible experience to work in sports, which is as fun as it sounds. And then I worked for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, which I am still currently working at. I was a development intern and I am now a contact tracer. And lastly I have worked as the corporate relations intern for the Chester Upland Youth Soccer Organization. Some of my favorite memories at Widener University have certainly been my international experiences. I have been able to travel to the Netherlands for a research project focused on sustainability and businesses. Then I was able to travel to Germany with a wider professor and took a few courses at our partner university. And last year I traveled with the Anthropology department to Trinidad and Tobago where I conducted my own research assignment on sustainability and culturally defining sustainability. I was able to do it. Thanks to the flexibility and understanding of my professors, I do not know where I would be without the constant guidance and encouragement from the professors that I had. And I can't stress enough how important it is to get to know your professors and let them get to know you too. There is no one way to live and that understanding alone has broadened my perspective immensely and I am so lucky to have had these opportunities to learn amongst incredible professors and other fellow students.
