The internship program at MMC is designed to provide opportunities for students interested in English, professional writing, communications, public relations, marketing, media, and broadcasting. MMC hopes to teach interested students more about the industry as well as how businesses work by assigning a variety of projects throughout the semester, or summer term. Interns have developed, written, and edited marketing and public relations content for a variety of materials such as brochures, content for the company’s website and social media pages, documents for the company’s media kit, media training materials, PowerPoint presentations, business correspondence, flyers, instruction sets, and press releases.
