Being the LCVA's PR and Marketing Intern is one of the most rewarding experiences I could ask for during my time at school. I came into the LCVA with a big background in writing with the ambition to explore the field of PR. It was a huge change from what I was used to studying and I've since learned how to apply my education in English, to the skills I have developed in the marketing field. I couldn't ask for a better environment to explore a career in. Now, thanks to the LCVA and its amazing staff, I have found what a job that I love and want to pursue as a full time career after I graduate!
The Wells-Bishop Internship was established in 2004, by virtue of gifts in honor of Carolyn Wells (Professor Emeritus of Biology, Department of Natural Sciences) and in the memory of Barbara L. Bishop (class of 1960, Art Department faculty, Art Department chair) by family, friends, and Longwood University alumni. The internship program recognizes the significant role that Wells and Bishop played in the establishment of the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts.
