Through professional, one-on-one attention and coaching, the Center for Portfolio Development and Internships promotes comprehensive, experiential learning and works to develop and build supportive, hands-on intern relationships.

Students from all 16 School of Communications majors and our host organizations (which span not only the St. Louis metropolitan area, but nationally and globally as well) forge long-lasting, far-reaching connections. These connections mutually benefit our students, host organizations and alumni.
