Database while abroad & interned in Client Services this Spring.
In addition to her studies & time with Indeed.com, Kaylin
interned with Inspiria Media, Chic City Life & Plitz’s Fashion

Florida after graduation to further develop her
business, Lady Strother Productions, which

Nendir Parradang is an International
Studies major with a double minor in
Creative & Professional Writing and
French. In the Fall she is headed to
NYU for graduate school. Nendir
was accepted into St. John’s,
Northeastern University & the New
School but decided on NYU’s
Master of Arts program in
International Relations because it is the most comprehensive
program related to her interests. Nendir hopes to become a
diplomat for the Nigerian Consulate and a political writer. She
decided to attend graduate school directly after Manhattan-
ville to build on the momentum of being a student so that she
can continue to immerse herself in international studies. When
asked what helped her gain acceptance to so many graduate
programs, she said she “has a strong feeling that working with
the International Relations Department here at Manhattan-
ville, speaking a foreign language, her internship with the UN
Office Of Drugs & Crime in Nigeria, as well as her writing minor
all helped her candidacy.” Her advice for students considering
grad school: “Be sure about what you want to study,
look closely at schools and don’t be afraid to call those
schools and ask specific questions, and start your
search early!”

This semester I was lucky enough
to snatch up the Marketing &
Communications internship in the
CCD. Once there, I was shown the
ropes on using Social Media sites
(such as Facebook and Twitter) to
promote CCD events and services.
I created the CCD’s Instagram account, which gained
over 100 followers within a week of its launch. The
entire staff made sure that I was comfortable with my
internship, and that I wasn’t feeling overloaded with
my coursework. As a freshman, I was nervous about
interning; I felt that I didn’t have enough experience in
my topics to actually do well. I decided to apply anyway,
and I am so happy that I did. Each counselor was more
than willing to help me move forward with my first
internship and it was a fun learning experience.
Everyone at the CCD is friendly, from the student
employees to the counselors. I learned a lot about
social media & different computer programs . I was so
happy to join the CCD team & it’s going to be hard to let
them go… Luckily for me, I’ve got 3 more years of
resume & cover letter reviews to go, so I’ll get to
see them often!!
