This has been a great experience
and I am so glad that I chose Career Services as my internship site.
Being at Career Services has presented me with a lot of resources that
have been helpful to me in my last semester and in the start of my
career search. I would like to give a special thanks to everyone in the
Sociology Department, who
have all made my stay here at Texas
State
so enjoyable.
