On Tuesday, Nov. 9, the first presentations of the fall COM 465 internship course will take place in McCance Auditorium in Buhl Hall at 12 p.m. Attendance is limited. A personal invitation from the presenters is required for admission.

The presentations will be made by three Department of Communication seniors, Keaton Moorhead, Jared Wiker and August Lober.

Moorhead spent his internship at RCN Communications as a social media and marketing intern.  Amongst many other experiences during his internship, he edited testimonials, renamed photos and conducted movie research.

Wiker spent his summer interning with The Home Page Network. His duties were mainly covering the Mansfield Destroyers of the New York Collegiate Baseball League (NYCBL). 

The Home Page Network is based in Wellsboro, Pa., but also serves Blossburg and Mansfield in Tioga County. Wiker also conducted weekly newscasts for HPN News, covered local high school sports for HPN Sports and worked as a reporter for The Home Page Network.

Lober’s internship was with the Washington Wild Things as a marketing/promotions intern. He conducted fan engagement inside the ballpark on gameday and at local community events to boost the profile of the organization. Lober also helped to craft gameday environments and execute promotions and theme nights to garner higher game attendance. 

All three presenters have gathered new experiences and lessons over their internship and are eager to share those experiences and lessons with the audience at their presentations.
