“I had the amazing opportunity to work with the ARD office this summer, and I learned so much about the field of higher education advancement through this work. I especially appreciated how I was able to sit in on important discussions regarding how to provide support to the greater Chicago community through stewardship. Being able to take part in this showed me the importance of understanding fundraising fundamentals not only in the community-centered work I plan to pursue in the future, but any career one might choose to pursue.”

These include, but are not limited to: advancing my knowledge on excel formulas and shortcuts, analyzing data to determine recommendations, delivering information through concise infographics, and many more. However, the most influential portion of my internship experience was meeting a wide array of advancement colleagues who genuinely care about your success and development.”
