We are looking for a marketing intern this summer and I remembered you said you may have some students who would be interested. I know your students are more on the PR side, but I wonder if they might be interested in working for the largest architectural firm in the world!

They need to know and work in InDesign. I would like to have them help out with updating and writing resumes, attending PR meetings and following through with research and opportunities relating to media, writing and posting to our intranet site, and assisting with preparation of marketing packages and proposals along with various marketing resource related updates.

I afraid I might be a bit late in requesting this as many students may already have found a place to intern already, but if know of anyone specifically or if you have a place to post an open position please let me know what I need to do.

I will be having my assistant contact other schools and posting as well.

Thanks!
