Eastern Student Stephanie Kovis of Fairfield Engages in Successful Internship

2017 Apr 24

A number of Eastern students commit to student internships as an on-site practical work experience with a company or organization that can provide them with firsthand knowledge of a career field. The internship is usually related to the student's major or is directly related to the student's career interest. They often complement the student's coursework, can incorporate skills and classroom experience into the workplace and assist the student in developing new abilities and skills.

Stephanie Kovis '17 of Fairfield is currently engaged in an internship at Eastern's Office of AccessAbility Services. Kovis' major is Psychology.

As part of her internship, Kovis assists with AccessAbility's Prep and Peer Mentor programs. Kovis said, "The most interesting part about my internship has been getting to know each student and to see them become successful."

Her advice to finding an internship? "Find an internship junior year so you have the chance to have an internship experience more than once. I wish I had the opportunity to do another internship before graduating because it would have been a great opportunity to explore different potential career paths."
