CCAM Students Thrive at Internship Alliance Programs
August 26, 2024
Seven current and former students are gaining valuable experience while serving local communities, thanks to the WVU College of Creative Arts and Media’s (CCAM) Internship Alliance.
Through partnerships with the Boy Scouts of America, Tamarack Foundation for the Arts, Touchstone Center for Crafts, the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra and the City of Morgantown, CCAM provides paid internships, allowing students throughout the college to begin their professional careers early.
Kenneth Farmer, a May 2024 graphic design graduate, and Paige Burger, a senior dual major in graphic design and marketing, landed internships at the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Summit Bechtel Reserve in Glen Jean, West Virginia. The Scouting, training and adventure center is the home of the BSA’s National Scout Jamboree and hosts camps throughout the summer. It is also one of four High Adventure Bases, providing outdoor experiences to both scout and non-scout families.
