Communication and media major interns at Symphoria
Emily Virgil, a Nazareth communication and media major, interned for the summer at Symphoria, gaining hands-on experience in digital media, photography, music administration, and event coordination.
Her experience was supported by a Nazareth SPARK Grant, which provided her with $1,500 plus a scholarship to cover the three credits she earned (worth more than $2,400). "I think it's really meaningful that Naz gives you multiple opportunities to do this, especially through the SPARK Grant," she says. "Having people I know have my back and are just as invested in my education as I am is really helpful...."
