Internships Your parents, teachers and counselors all say it because it’s true. Internship experiences set you apart.

WHAT OUR
A L U M N I S AY
Kate Tully Ellsworth ENGLISH R E V I E W E D / U S A T O D AY
“I work in journalism, and critical thinking skills are essential for brainstorming article topics, asking the right questions during interviews and crafting a narrative that’s both accurate and resonant with our readers. So many things shape how I need to assign, write and edit stories—all things I learned how to see in English classes, like how to take into account the audience, the social context, reader intentions vs. author intentions, language, etc.”

“I recently worked as a standby for Genie and Babkak in ‘Aladdin’ on Broadway. It’s been a long road to reaching this amazing milestone in my career. This would not have been possible if not for the four years I spent at Belmont.”

“The knowledge and experience I gained through Belmont’s Entrepreneurship program gave me the tools necessary to launch a business and reach heights higher than I could have ever imagined!”

“At Belmont, they really teach you how to look at a patient holistically. When you look at your patient in a holistic way, you look in their eyes, you hear their story and you recognize that you can be there to help them with your nursing skills or your faith or sometimes even just your presence. You know you’re in the exact place you’re meant to be, equipped with all the right experiences to provide that help.”
