Real-World Training ometimes the best preparation for a career is through an internship, and University of Kansas students often chose to spend their semester, summer, winter or spring break at an internship. Every fall, the search for summer internships began- just weeks after the semester kicked off. Students painstakingly put together or updated a resume, carefully proofreading it. They signed up for interviews, shopped for business clothes and studied up on potential employers. Chris Stoppel, Washington senior, was an accounting intern at Koch Industries in Wichita last summer. He researched pipeline freight rates, confirmed they were being paid for and updated the financial models. Stoppel said internships were a great way to meet other people. Koch Industries has 15 students from Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma as summer interns. Stoppel said he kept in touch with several of his fel- low interns even after the summer ended. I think it helps you realize what ' s actually out there, and what you might actually like to do, Stoppel said. With Koch, I found something I like to do that I didn ' t think I ' d be interested in doing. It helped me decide on a career and what I will look for in my first job. He learned about the company at a campus career fair during the fall and signed up for an interview through the business career center. A few weeks after his interview, the company offered Stoppel an internship. Not all internships were awarded so quickly. Some companies accepted applications until the first of the year and did not decide who received the internships until the first of the year. Other companies accept- ed and notified recipients in the spring. Mindie Miller, Lawrence graduate student, completed a two-week, for-credit reporting internship at the Lawrence Journal-World during winter break of 1999. Her editors liked what they saw and offered her a summer internship. Miller said she gained confidence and valuable experience from her internship. She wrote at least one, if not two, stories a day as a full-time reporter. Even though she had been a reporter and campus editor for the University Daily Kansan, her internship gave her a different perspective. It was good real-world experience to be in another newsroom other than the Kansan Miller said. It ' s just nice to see what it ' s like at a professional operation, and it ' s also nice to talk to veteran reporters who have been on the job for awhile.
