[00:00:09.645]you get an automatic internship with
[00:00:11.459]the UNL Athletic Department.
[00:00:13.123]Being able to get that guaranteed internship
[00:00:15.075]was what really sold me on wanting to come to Nebraska.
[00:00:21.613]You know, the chance to be able to work here,
[00:00:23.256]and have the N on my resume,
[00:00:25.485]the N on my chest, it's incredible.
[00:00:30.093]My internship is in the digital communications field.
[00:00:35.107]I get to work on Huskers.com and the
[00:00:38.488]digital media side of the Athletic Department.
[00:00:44.109]My internship is in Sports Analytics,
[00:00:46.221]using data to help the teams and departments
[00:00:48.365]within the Athletic Departments do their best.
[00:00:51.459]Checking the stats, getting ready to
[00:00:52.920]write the recap for after this game.
[00:00:56.824]And I also work with the development side
[00:00:59.183]doing donor events and helping with the game day suites.
[00:01:05.199]Anything that's on Huskervision,
[00:01:06.372]anything that's on the jumbotron,
[00:01:07.673]any music, all goes through our office.
[00:01:09.796]So they're gonna walk out straight like that and turn?
[00:01:11.606]Yep.
[00:01:12.472]Okay, we're going to break.
[00:01:13.987]Right there is perfect.
[00:01:15.640]When my hand goes in the air, we're live.
[00:01:18.872]Okay, we're good.
[00:01:20.312]Great job.
[00:01:21.667]It's a great opportunity to get
[00:01:22.925]your foot in the door in collegiate athletics.
[00:01:24.856]You can also get a stipend, you get free tuition,
[00:01:26.840]and you get to be in a great
[00:01:27.949]Division I institution like Nebraska.
[00:01:31.544]I really enjoy getting to see behind the scenes
[00:01:33.699]what goes on in the Athletic Department.
[00:01:36.365]Man this experience has been unbelievable.
[00:01:37.955]Every day I've learned.
[00:01:38.936]They kinda threw me into the fire and it's been great.
[00:01:41.091]Having an automatic internship,
[00:01:43.288]I think it's invaluable, especially
[00:01:44.653]with this athletic department.
[00:01:46.637]I love this program for the
[00:01:47.640]professional development is has provided me.
[00:01:50.275]Things that I've learned here,
[00:01:51.555]having Nebraska on my resume,
[00:01:52.877]I think it's gonna really set me up great
[00:01:54.467]for my next step in my career.
[00:01:57.837]If you want to work in college athletics,
[00:01:59.181]this is where you need to be.
[00:02:00.675]And I'm not saying that to sell the program,
[00:02:02.435]I'm saying it because I believe it,
[00:02:04.237]and I know I'm gonna do great things from here
[00:02:05.859]and it's all because of this program.
