A group of Lovett students returned to campus this fall with a new and unique perspective. These students participated in a summer internship! Over 70 Lovett students participated this past summer, and these fortunate students gained career experience in a variety of areas: business, finance, sports marketing, fashion design, technology, education, medicine, law, event planning, foreign government services, politics, and language. Each student who participated came away with a more mature and knowledgeable appreciation of what it means to “work.” Through contact with their internship hosts, students also honed their passions and aptitudes. As they continue their educations, through Lovett and beyond, students will draw on the experiences afforded them and hopefully make better and more informed decisions about their career choices.
