“Interning
with the Voluntarism department of the American Cancer Society gave me a chance to gain applicable real-world
experience with close guidance and was a great jump-start to my career. This internship was unique from others because I was given the
opportunity to learn important skills while making a real difference. In fact, I enjoyed my time as an intern so much that I joined the staff
full-time after graduation!"
—Lauren Deppe
