My ODL internship was at the Center for Global Engagement at Duquesne University, which houses Study Abroad, International Admissions, International Student Services and the ESL program for the institution. I shadowed the assistant directors of each department and learned so much about the field. My experiences with the ODL internship at Duquesne directly led to more confidence in interviews, which in turn brought on incredible professional opportunities.
