It is a pleasure to write this letter of reference for BAM’s Brooklyn Interns for Arts and Culture (BIAC) program. I was a BIAC intern during my senior of high school, from October 2013 to August 2014, during which I worked in the DanceMotion USA. In addition, I worked with my staff mentor Jenny Rodriguez, who worked in the Human Resources Department. I found it extremely helpful to have the supprort from these three different levels of contact. With these varying levels of support, I always felt
As I sit down to write this, I ask myself the question “Why do I want to stay at the Wesley Foundation?” What more could I learn from being a 2nd year intern? And I can’t honestly answer that question without first reflecting back on my time here. Thinking back to some of my first times walking through the doors of the Wesley Foundation, I don’t recognize my former self. As a quiet and painfully timid student leaving home for the first time, I wasn’t aware of the road I was about to travel. He didn’t
I Was a Washington D.C. Intern On June 9, 2003, my life took an interesting turn. It was a sunny day.

(The one corner, purportedly the

Internships provide very important and unique opportunities that can pave the way for their success.

unpaid internship, as I am sure that there are bad employers for interns as well as good ones.

In “Unpaid Interns, Complicit Colleges,” published in the Wall Street Journal on April 2, 2011, Ross Perlin discusses how college interns are being pointed towards these college jobs even though they're being scammed.

Every intern that works with the Preservation Committee works Monday through Friday. The office is open from 7:00 am until 5:00 pm, however the intern decides what time they start.

to attend the internship, because it is located on campus in the Annette Strauss Institute floor of the CMA building. Commuting could be a concern for many students, and with an internship on campus it will help to alleviate that problem for most interns. I also think it would be beneficial to work on this project in the future, because it offers students the chance to participate in a large research project.

The only japanese native in this job that was displayed was an 80 year old woman, the rest were young chinese men.
