As we move through the dog days of summer we have another update on the endeavors of Marist students and recent graduates. For most of July we ran our Summer Internship Contest, asking students to email us with the most memorable moment from their internship and tell us what made it memorable for them. Rising junior and fashion merchandising major Caitlyn Mae Cairme, a luxury wholesale intern at Belstaff in New York City, was declared our winner! Caitlyn received a newly designed Marist College Center for Career Services T-shirt. Thank you to everyone who has provided us with content for these success stories. In case you missed it, here is a recap of all of our stories from the last month. Kathryn Eldridge, ’18 Recent Marist graduate Kathryn Eldridge (third from left) has worked her way up to a full-time position on the tax staff with EY. She participated in the professional services firm's International Leadership Conference two years ago before interning at EY last summer. At the 2018 Marist College Baccalaureate Awards Ceremony, Kathryn earned the Award for Academic Excellence in Accounting a day before receiving her bachelor’s degree. Brendan Boldt, ’18 With the guidance of Scholarship & Fellowship Advisor Pat Taylor, Brendon Boldt was admitted to Carnegie Mellon University to pursue a master's degree in Language Technologies. Brendon's pursuit of additional education will begin in the fall of 2019. Josh Polgrean, ’20 Josh Polgrean completed four rounds of interviews during his sophomore year before obtaining a competitive internship with JP Morgan for Summer 2019. JP Morgan typically hires interns one year in advance. Josh made many appointments with career coaches for assistance with crafting his cover letter, networking with employers, and interviewing. Nicolette Muro, ’18 Nicolette Muro decided to go right on to graduate school after earning her bachelor’s degree in Journalism and encourages other students to do the same. "Don’t be afraid to jump right into a graduate program if you find one that you’re passionate about," Nicolette said. "Students that feel prepared to attend graduate school right after graduation and meet the requirements for their desired program should take the chance and apply." Nicolette will begin an MA program in Journalism with the City University of New York (CUNY) this fall. Brianna Paganini, ’19 No two days are alike for Brianna Paganini, a PR & advertising major at Marist and marketing and promotions intern for iHeart Media. Brianna has worked at many events for iHeart radio stations, including KTUPhoria at Jones Beach. The event featured performances by the Backstreet Boys, Dua Lipa, Charlie Puth, Pitbull, Ne-Yo, and others. Brianna held informational interviews with former iHeartMedia interns and employees, which helped her earn her internship opportunity. Patrick DeLeon, MPA ’18 Patrick DeLeon (left) earned an MPA at Marist this past May before beginning his position as an Americorps Vista with United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region.
