Location, location, location
One great benefit of attending college in Midtown St. Louis is access to an array of internship opportunities. From the Nine Network and St. Louis Public Radio at Grand Center to the St. Louis Cardinals downtown and the Riverfront Times in the Delmar Loop, the possibilities are endless.
Many internships are entirely virtual, a holdover from the height of the pandemic, opening more possibilities for students who live and study in St. Louis, but want to work for major organizations in other locations.
Shout out to SLU Communication alumna, Olivia Hanford, the host of this campus tour.
As a junior majoring in Communication at SLU, Brendan Williams interned for Nine Network of Public Media. Brendan explains how his SLU classes helped prepare him for his internship working in social media and production.
