What past interns have to say about their experience at Burns:
“The Burns experience was one of the most unique opportunities I’ve ever been offered. It is not your run-of-the-mill, ‘grab some coffee’ type of internship. Unlike my past internships, I truly walked away from Burns feeling as if my work was highly valued and meaningful to the success of the company. Everybody there really helped create an atmosphere where it was acceptable to be yourself while still maintaining a strong work ethic. The experience gained while at Burns is something you cannot teach in a classroom and I already feel as though I have a leg-up on the competition as I enter the working world.”
Joel Rosenblatt, Summer 2009
“Prior to my time at Burns Entertainment & Sports Marketing I was oblivious to the way this specific industry operated. I not only gained valuable experience in becoming acclimated to the protocol and expectations of every single business day, but I polished my sales and communication skills in pursuing new business opportunities. Whether it was sponsorships, celebrity appearances, or cold calling, each day presented a new obstacle that taught me and prepared me better than I could have ever imagined for the workplace upon graduation.”
Kevin Donnelly, Summer 2008
