"I had a great experience working in the UCF President’s office.   

I was given the opportunity to do many fun and interesting things through my internship, including attending several UCF Board meetings. By working with the UCF Trustees, I learned how to communicate in a professional manner and proper office etiquette. 

I loved coming in to work every day to face new projects.

An internship at the UC Foundation is a perfect job for UC students. UCF knows that school comes first and they are very accommodating to student schedules. The UCF offices are just a short shuttle ride away from main campus, and it is a good opportunity to learn what few students know about the University of Cincinnati."

“Working for the UC Foundation has given me practical experience in a real-world professional setting. 

It was an enriching experience to be able to finish out my Masters Degree in Organizational Communication while combining what I was learning in the classroom and in the workplace. I loved giving back to an educational institution that has provided me with so many great memories. 

The most salient thing I noticed while being the Human Resources Intern is that there is such a strong loyalty to the University that is so noticeable by all departments at the UC Foundation…it’s almost contagious. 

The aspect that I loved most about working at UCF was the “family feel” that was evident each and every day. It was truly an experience I will never forget.”

"I loved interning at the UC Foundation.

Some of the projects I completed reinforced lessons I learned about in my communications courses.

The most important aspect I believe I gained from my internship at UCF was the invaluable work experience that will help me in my future career.

Interning at UCF has taught me the essential skills I need to succeed in my future career endeavors!"

"My experience as an intern at the Foundation has taught me to be a more independent worker and how to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

The people at the Foundation are amazing and have made it a rewarding task to be an employee here."

"The University of Cincinnati Foundation has given me many skills that will pay off in my career.

Working in the Annual Giving department was very rewarding because I knew I was helping build a future for the University by cultivating early donors who may eventually become the major supporters of our great Alma Mater.

I had never thought of working in development or non-profit before my internship, but now I see how great it is and I will be pursuing a career in it after graduation!"
