The Smith Report: June 28, 2013

Welcome to The Smith Report, a short audio podcast that will help keep you informed about current news and events at the Smith School. The podcast is less than 10 minutes long and is produced by the Office of Marketing Communications. Smith MBAs take on a variety of challenging internships over the summer to build their skills and make professional connections. In this issue of the Smith Report, Tom Fisher, MBA Candidate 2014, tells us about working as a financial analyst intern at Campbell's Soup in New Jersey.

Sri Lanka Maryland-USAID Program Sees 2nd Straight Year of Success

MBA and MPP (Masters of Public Policy) students from the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business and School of Public Policy traveled to Sri Lanka as part of an annual summer internship program (June-July 2012).

This past summer, I was a remote MBA intern. It was an interesting experience, doing a virtual MBA internship during a pandemic. As expected, I learned a lot – about the field, about the company I worked for, about remote work, and, more generally about being a successful intern. Some background info: my internship was Navy Federal Credit Union and lasted for three months during the summer of 2020. I was assigned to work out of the Florida office, but because of the pandemic, I never left home in Baltimore.
