At Gwynedd Mercy University, internships aren’t just a requirement they’re a key part of how students turn what they’ve learned into something real. For Digital Communications major like Damon Dunn and Marketing major like Elizabeth Romano, these experiences have been game-changers.

The program is designed to get students out of the classroom and into real environments marketing teams, media companies, nonprofits, agencies where the work actually happens. Whether it’s writing content, managing social media, editing videos, or running campaigns, the goal is simple: build real skills, work with real people, and figure out where the passion fits.

Damon Dunn and Elizabeth Romano are perfect examples of how it all comes together. Both took what they learned in their courses digital strategy, content creation, branding and brought it to life in their internships. It wasn’t just practice; it was production, pressure, and results.

These kinds of opportunities don’t just look good on a résumé they give students the chance to walk into a job interview with experience, not just theory. That’s what makes GMercyU’s internship focus so important. It gives students a head start in a field that moves fast and expects you to keep up.

At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about being prepared, being experienced, and being ready to step into the industry with confidence.
