With this blog, it is the hope and intention that George Mason’s Communication majors will be more informed about internship opportunities.
Internships offer an authentic experience in the working community for students in their major.
Please use the sources available to learn more about internships from professors, alumni, and current students.
Enjoy and thank you!

Meet the Authors:
Evan Milberg, a 21-year-old Communication major at George Mason University, is excited to have worked on a project about Communication internships despite not being able to get one himself. With a voice for TV and a face for radio, Evan hopes to one day go into some form of media production. After receiving his B.A. in 2011, Evan will be pursuing a Master’s Degree, hopefully at George Mason University as well.
