National Multiple Sclerosis Society

“Everyone at the National MS Society is so purpose-driven, which aligned perfectly with my goals for this internship. They encouraged me to come out of my shell and I was able to learn many new skills involving development that I hadn't even considered before. The Society helps you network with other professionals and interns and really encourages you to get what you want out of the internship.”

“I liked several aspects of the internship and have narrowed down three. The staff is the first major point which I wanted to address and the most important section as the staff can make or break an internship. My supervisor was fantastic and my interactions with various staff were extremely welcoming and inclusive. All my exchanges furthered my understanding of the company, and everyone was eager to help me. Additionally, intern coordinators often asked what they could do to improve our experiences. The second major point is the work and responsibilities which I was tasked with. Jobs varied in importance and were based upon my competency and progress in previous tasks. My supervisor was very diligent in constantly providing me with new challenges but enough support where I never felt overwhelmed by my responsibilities. The third point of importance is opportunities. The Society provided me with so many occasions to further my professional learning. I did not expect such support and generosity in tailoring this experience based upon my skills, hopes, and expectations. ”
