Six Marshall University students have been awarded the HerdHired Career Experience Grant for summer 2024.<\/p>\n

The Office for Career Education established the grant for students hoping to supplement their classroom education with work-based learning experiences like internships, co-op programs, clinicals, research and other approved experiences.\u00a0 The awards were based on a competitive application process. The students were awarded a total of $3,000.\u00a0 The following students were selected:<\/p>\n

Donald Speas, a sports business major, will intern with Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah and assist with coaching duties for their track and cross-country teams.
\n\u201cMy current career goal is to become a professional or collegiate track and field coach, so this gives me a great opportunity to get experience working with elite athletes in a low-pressure environment. Additionally, I will be able to put some of my sports business skills to use when I help craft team schedules and budgets.”<\/p>\n

Amy Borowski, who is studying health science and accounting with a Spanish minor will be part of the Study Abroad Program through Marshall University.
\n\u201cI selected this program because of the abundant educational advantages, particularly in the realms of language and history. The opportunity to learn the Spanish language directly from a native speaker in Spain not only enriches my language skills but also provides me a fully immersive experience as I pursue my studies.\u201d<\/p>\n

William Blair, a statistics major, will intern with USAA in San Antonio, Texas.
\n\u201cThis hands-on experience will not only enrich my understanding of data engineering principles but also solidify my career path in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jada Stutts, a biomedical engineering student, will intern with LabCorp in Charleston, West Virginia.
\n\u201cI have participated in lab research since my freshman year. Fortunately, I now have an internship that allows me to get real world experience in a lab setting and potentially participate in the company\u2019s own research studies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott \u201cEric\u201d Coleman, a healthcare management major, will intern with Southern West Virginia Healthcare Systems this summer in Hamlin, West Virginia.<\/p>\n

Destiny Lovejoy, a student in early childhood education, will intern with Fifth Avenue Baptist Childcare Center this summer.<\/p>\n

The #HerdHired Career Experience Grant is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Office of Career Education Employer Partners: Cintas, C.J, Hughes, Service Wire Co., Nucor, Rogers Beckett, Service Wire and the US Army.<\/p>\n
