Name: Audra Kohler
Class Year: 2014
Major: Business Administration with a concentration in
marketing
Hometown: Canton, OH
Internship: Events and Sponsorships Intern at OhioHealth
Location: Columbus, OH
Internship Responsibilities:
Some of the responsibilities I
have are managing budgets for both events and sponsorships, and I work on logistics as well. Since we have sponsorships with the Blue Jackets, the
Crew and the Columbus Zoo, I recruit volunteers for OhioHealth nights as well as
coordinate other logistical details.
What I learned:
The marketing and communications department
at OhioHealth works similarly to an agency. We work with a broad spectrum of
people throughout the department on multiple projects at a time. I’ve learned
how to prioritize and project manage. I've worked on a market research project with the other interns, and we have learned how to strategically approach a
project from the beginning.
Advice about searching for an internship:
Use the resources
we have here at Otterbein. I found this internship through the CardinalCareers website. I've also used other resources like columbusinternships.com, but I've had the most
luck finding internships through the CCPD.
Advice on how to make the most of an internship experience:
My managers have always pushed me to work outside of my realm, and I've definitely
utilized that. I've been on video shoots, sat in on meetings I would not have
otherwise attended, and worked on projects just for the opportunity. These experiences
have allowed me to learn a lot more about my field.
