The only assignment I had to complete for this pass/fail class was a 15-page report reflecting on my marketing internship with ODU Athletic Marketing. This paper allowed me to fully digest and look back on my time with the department, which was a total of 3 semesters, one being for credit. I got to take a deeper look at the marketing functions in the marketing department as a whole as well as break down my own experience. One of the main points that was key for me to write about in my paper was how I was able to connect what I have learned during my marketing classes to what I was doing actively in my internship. Both of my internships have been sports marketing related, so if I choose to continue down that path, this internship has taught me so much about the in's and outs of college sports and I learned so much about the behind-the-scenes aspects, from script writing to cutting music and videos.
