A new school year has just begun, but it's not too early for college students to start thinking about their plans for next summer. Many internship application deadlines are early in the fall, and the same is true for the Hoard's Dairyman editorial internship.
This is a journalism internship filled with learning opportunities and one-on-one mentoring from the Hoard's Dairyman editorial team. The internship is based out of our Fort Atkinson, Wis., office, right in America's Dairyland.
Don't just take our word for it. Read what our 2016 intern, Oklahoma State University student Taylor Leach, had to say about her experience in this blog. Or, watch this post-internship interview with our 2014 intern, Maggie Seiler, who graduated from Kansas State University and has since joined the Hoard's Dairyman editorial team full time.
Be sure to enjoy the school year, but don't forget to look ahead to learning opportunities for next summer. If you are interested in our Hoard's Dairyman internship for 2017, apply by October 12, 2016. Students should mail a cover letter, resume, grade transcript, and three written letters of recommendation from references to Abby Bauer, Associate Editor, 28 Milwaukee Ave. West, Fort Atkinson, WI 53538.
