It’s Virginia Intern Day! Internships and work-based learning are an excellent way to apply classroom knowledge, make connections and refine your career focus. Just ask Seth Smith (B.S. ‘25). With support from Strome and the Monarch Internship and Co-Op Office, he held six internships after coming to ODU and now works at a startup in Washington, D.C. Read more about Smith and the power of internships at the link in our bio.
