Student-Athlete Testimonials
“I’d highly recommend UPIC to those who have the chance to experience it as I felt that my time as an intern was full of learning new tools and developing new skills I could take with me into the real world. From collaboration to learning how to achieve tasks on your own, the skills I learned made me go out of my comfort zone and I was very appreciative of that. I feel as though I can walk into a professional setting and not feel timid or out of place after doing both my internships, and I have UPIC to thank for that. Furthermore I was able to make new friends and even create good bonds with my mentors who can help me in future endeavors if I ever need them.”

“I am currently placed at the Department of Marketing which is a big step for me to get a more hands-on experience in the marketing field. I am in charge of the social media platform posts, newsletters, blogs and more. The experiences I have received from doing UPIC internships have changed my life and allowed me to apply concepts that I have learned from my classes and in my everyday life. I strongly encourage athletes to take part in these internships because it gives you hands on experience and you get to meet new people and learn new things.”
-Shantae Foreman, Women’s Track and Field
