Just a few updates:
DD is in the process of looking for a Summer Internship in Public Relations. She hasn't been as diligent about applying and interviewing as her brother was when he was a Junior, so I'm a little worried. But she did score an on campus internship for this semester with an IT company called Carahsoft. It is a smaller company in Northern Virginia that specializes in government IT needs. They hire Student Ambassadors for $10 an hour to promote their company and job opportunities on campuses. DD will have to work booths, produce informational flyers, and speak to groups to promote Carahsoft. It is kind of all self directed and supervised through phone calls with a supervisor. She is really excited about it because it gives her the chance to put her PR skills to use in a real resume building way. I'm just a little worried about the self directed part.
She also just got an email from one of her professors inviting her to join the Communications Honor Society, Lambda Pi Eta. She's going to do it because it is one more positive thing to add to her resume.
She is also in the process of meeting with her advisor and choosing her classes for next semester. She has FINALLY (I think) finalized her two minors - Business Leadership and International Studies. She almost picked Professional and Technical Writing instead of International Studies, but she'd need to take 18 credits one semester to get it done. She already started and then abandoned a Minor in International Studies back when she was a freshman, so she only needs 12 credits to finish it at this point. She is choosing classes within the IS Minor that have to do with international communications, so it dovetails well with PR.
Hope all your kids are doing well!!!!
