This summer, Giovanna Ortiz '16 spent time working with Church World Service (CWS)—Lancaster's Immigration Legal Services Program—to resettle immigrants and refugees in the surrounding central Pennsylvania area. She is one of many volunteers who help acclimate approximately 400 individuals to the area during the course of each year.

Cory Paternoster '16, who recently interned at Noisy Little Critter Studios in Downingtown, has been soundproofing rooms and aiding in construction, in addition to running equipment for musicians. The studio, established in 2010 by Mike Bardzik, was built in a refurbished barn and adapted to give artists a place to stay and record.

Corby Myers '17 received an Arnold Grant that allowed her to spend the summer interning at the World Trade Center in Harrisburg. A business administration major, this internship provided practical experience as she seeks a career in international business.

There are many opportunities for students to receive practical, "real life" experience at Lebanon Valley College. For those students interested in political science, or potentially a career in politics, there is no experience more beneficial than the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Legislative Fellowship Program. This 13-week, full-time position, has students participating in weekly workshops and hearing various speakers while observing in a leadership or Committee Chairman office.

Business administration major Cody Richard '14 is in his second semester interning at the World Trade Center of Harrisburg, which helps member companies explore and develop avenues for selling their products abroad.
