MSU Graduating Seniors Recap

Graduating from college can come with a myriad of mixed emotions; feelings of excitement, being nervous and nostalgic seem to be reoccurring emotions among seniors.

Michigan State University seniors Kelly Fournier and Julie Thompson have mixed emotions about graduating this May, but they said their internships have relieved most of their graduation anxiety. Both women said their internships gave them real life experience and prepared them for their future careers, as well as knowing what they should expect post-graduation.

Career Services Coordinator at MSU Bill Morgan works at Career Services on MSU’s campus and helps students find internships and jobs. Morgan said internships are part of the norm now and the majority of employers expect to see at least one internship on a resume.

Internships are a rewarding experience; you get first-hand experience with what it’s like to work in your future career field, and in the case of Fournier and Thompson, internships can help relieve feelings of uncertainty towards graduation.

MSU Graduating Seniors Preview

As the month of May is approaching faster than some would like to believe, graduating Michigan State University seniors are forced to come to terms with the fact that their college days are soon over. As the fall semester dwindles down, seniors may develop signs of senioritis, and even mixed emotions about how they feel about graduation.

MSU seniors are probably excited to get out in the “real world” to see what it has to offer and put to use their skills that they have been developing and perfecting for the past four years. The feeling of nervousness may also arise for seniors as they have to leave their comfort zone of MSU.

Students take on internships in the hopes that real work experience will prepare them for what comes after college. Luckily, the Career Services Center on campus specializes in helping MSU students find internships and jobs.
