Profile
of Niki Kalemnous, Intern, PPW Program, 12/06
by Niki Kalemnous
PPW/Writing Center Publicity Intern
 I
am currently a Communications major and the intern for the PPW Certificate
Program. Although I’m only a sophomore, I wanted to gain writing
experience and I assumed this internship would provide me this.
The reason I chose to intern with PPW was because it allowed me
to stay on campus.
This semester, I had a variety of projects. In October, I planned
a panel event luncheon, “Writing in the Public Interest.”
I also helped design flyers and publicize other PPW events throughout
the semester. One of my other big projects was developing an Internship
Guide for PPW students. Hopefully, this booklet will ease the internship
site selection process for many students. For the winter edition
of Write Now, the PPW newsletter, I conducted several interviews
and wrote articles.
I would have to say the high point of this internship was the day
of the panel event. This clarified to me that I want to pursue a
career in event planning. Next semester, I will be interning at
The Event Group, a full-service event production company.
This past semester, I felt like I was part of a community. I had
the opportunity to work with many talented writers and I appreciate
the knowledge I gained from them. Overall, my writing has developed
and strengthened by interning with the PPW program. I’m grateful
for all the experiences this past semester.
