As another school year approaches, we all rumble with excitement upon our return to campus! For many Wibbers this summer was filled with internships, study abroad, work, travel, and family & friends. Let’s dive into some of our Wibbers experiences and what they’re anxious to get back to in Bloomington!
Aashna Dogra
This summer I had a Social Media Marketing Internship with MORE Magazine. It has been so insightful and I was lucky enough to be blessed with a freshman internship through WIB! My boss, Arianna Cruz, spoke at our conference this past year and I am beyond grateful for the opportunities I’ve had!
Kodee Lewis
This summer I had my first internship with Bank of America in wealth management based out of their New York office. I was able to network with a lot of people and learn more about BofA culture. I loved it so much I signed my return offer and will be going back next year! Back in Bloomington I’m so excite to eat at Longfei again
Faith Hampton
I interned with Onzie - an active apparel brand in Los Angeles! I joined their marketing team and got to exercise my creative abilities through content creation for social platforms, photo shoots, collaboration proposals, and influencer relations.Back in Bloomington I'm looking forward to catching up with all of the WiB ladies, watching IU sports (in person!) and eating at all of the great Bloomington restaurants.
Meera Unni
I did a social media internship for a nonprofit organization called Injury Free Coaltion for Kids. I essentially helped managed and create content for their social media page to gain more followers and interaction on their page! This summer I also got to spend lots of time with friends and family and went on a family vacation to Gatlinburg where we stayed in a cabin and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Back in Bloom I’m really excited to get back in person and attend an in person mass meeting. I have heard such amazing and fun things from past members about in person mass meetings and I cannot wait to experience it myself.
Casey Duong
This summer I was a Marketing Intern at a rapidly growing real estate company called LivCor! It was located in the Willis Tower and it was AMAZING getting to go in and experience that real life experience. I had a summer project exploring social media advertising campaigns and put my data skills to use!
Spoorthi Vittaladevuni
This summer I was a S&T Summer Analyst at Citi! Once we’re back on campus I can’t wait to meet with wibbers in person, hang out between classes, and see a bustling Hodge Hall again.
Hannah Evans
This summer I was fortunate enough to have an Internship in Chicago as a “Tik-Tern”/TikTok intern, where I worked with clients to develop social media strategies and initiate the production of content. My office was right in the West Loop, so lunch breaks were filled with trips to new restaurants and even visits to the McLaren showroom which was right across the street! I can’t wait to be back in bloom and start recruitment for this year's new Wibbers!
Lisa Warren
I worked on Nantucket Island for half the summer, in a restaurant called Lemon Press! Back in Bloom I’m definitely looking forward to eating at all the different restaurants and walking around campus in the fall!
Abby Erickson
I interned for Trane Technologies, a global climate innovator, on the Enterprise Digital Marketing Team. I was able to incorporate my sustainable business knowledge to work on audits of the company's website and ESG Report and use my marketing skills to create content streams for our blog and social media. I thought critically in order to understand new target markets, developed KPIs for different projects, worked closely with external agency partners, and so much more. Back in Bloomington I can’t wait to visit the new Crumbl in town!
Maitreyee Malpekar
This summer I studied abroad in London at the LSE. Back in Bloomington I’m most excited for *hopefully* in-person mass meetings!!!
Lauren Robinson
This summer I worked in KPMG’s Strategy practice out of the Chicago office. It was a positive experience, and a great way to learn more about the consulting industry. I enjoyed honing my analytical skills by working on various tasks including developing a product costing model, analyzing accounts receivable aging, and credit spend. Back at school I’m super excited to be back to in person classes in Hodge and run into friends I haven't seen in a while. Also really excited for Bloomington restaurants (Siam House - of course!), coffee shops, and runs around campus.
Riley Cox
This summer I was a summer camp counselor at a military based summer camp called Culver!
