Interns in Action!
NINE STUDENT SUCCESS INTERNS from across the country were busy taking over our associate engagement app, Nudge, in October. From a hide-and-seek Love, Chartwells event to promoting their favorite dishes, these interns brought us into their experiences, touring campus and sharing their stories.

Cierra Mauk – marketing intern
James Schwartz – marketing intern
“This internship has given me amazing opportunities from national brandings and applications to even giving me my own creative freedom.”
“I’ve grown in my management skills during my internship. After a student and faculty survey, I analyzed the data and came up with recommendations on how we can improve dining on campus. I was able to make my own decisions and use my own intelligence to come up with new ideas.”
Heidi Link – marketing intern Heidi had this to say about her favorite meal on campus, the Mediterranean bowl from the Create station: “It’s heavenly!” Savannah Koth – sustainability intern Savannah participated in a National Farmers Day project hiding micro-green growing kits around campus for students to find. “It’s an easy way for anyone to step in the shoes of a farmer and get fresh greens right in their dorm.” Jessalyn Titus – management intern “This internship and working at EMU Dining has created a home for me.
