MSA welcomed its first cohort of summer interns this year, and today is the conclusion of their 12-week long internship. Throughout the summer, the interns worked with MSA project coaches to research, develop and advance their area of specialty. The internship wrapped up with a final project presentation that summarized the work that they have accomplished.
The MSA team is extremely proud and grateful for the work that summer interns have accomplished! Read below about some of the projects that they worked on this summer.
- Erykah Nava | MSA Policies & Procedures Intern
I worked on creating policy proposals and aiding MSA in changing or adding policies that reflect student needs. - Gabby Rios | MSA Data & Assessment Intern

I handled social media, developed marketing strategies, created and sent out MSA’s summer and alumni newsletters, and generally worked to make sure students know about MSA and its resources. - Cayla Clements | MSA Policies & Procedures Intern

Sayeed and I worked on compiling a digital archive of MSA’s many histories that will ultimately be accessible in a timeline format on MSA’s website.
