Lots to Do and Learn

Wednesday, August 18 was my last day as a Marketing intern at Whitaker Center. Over the past three months, I’ve had a wonderful time learning various aspects of marketing communications.
Before I leave, I wanted to share my top three Whitaker Center experiences:
- While on assignment, Graphic Design intern Amanda and I got a little carried away inside Carnival of Health and Forces of Nature. From racing each other on tiny (and I mean tiny!) tricycles at the All-American Calorie Race ─ to getting our hair blown like crazy in the Hurricane Chamber ─ I felt like a little kid again!
- I loved the opportunity to research and discover all the talented new performers coming to the Center. It’s amazing how many gifted artists there are that I haven’t heard of before. My new favorites are Spoon and Brandi Carlile; both coming this fall. I recently added some of their great songs to my ipod!
- And last but certainly not least, going through the Titanic exhibit by myself for the very first time, is a moment I won’t forget. It was a chilling experience, especially seeing the living quarters of Third-Class passengers. As claustrophobic as I am, I couldn’t even begin to imagine what they experienced. Since I’ve gone through the exhibit numerous times, I still notice something different and fascinating each time.
It’s been such a quick but exciting summer thanks to all the great people at Whitaker Center! Now I’m off to my senior year at West Chester University.
Enjoy the rest of the summer,
