One of my favorite projects I’ve completed for my internship with PreventionFIRST! so far. I have learned so much about substance misuse and suicide prevention this summer thanks to all of the amazing staff. Check out the post below to learn about what Deterra System bags are and why you should use them!
PF! intern and #MiamiUniversity student Jada Kramer displays one of her projects she has worked on this summer for our organization.
These boards will be in various churches outlining how to use Deterra bags in your home to reduce potential substance misuse and to help the environment.
These bags are available at no cost: https://lnkd.in/gCuza3QB

Dr. Wen Ko was my adviser for my MS at Case Western. He certainly left a life long impact on me and actively encouraged me to pursue building tech. companies. My first company was started with him.
When I met Dr. Ko he was around 90 years old and had won a NIH grant which supported my thesis and research. He was the first in many aspects of electrical engineering.
I will never forget his graciousness, favor, and endless advice.
I encourage all the professionals with experience and gray hair, to find a newbie in need of guidance. They are the future of our nation and innovation.
To the entrepreneurs, it is more than valuable to have a seasoned mentor/partner on your team. You can’t learn how to build a business on your own.

The accounting industry is so vast and often times you don’t realize what your degree in accounting can be used for. The internship experience that WilkinGuttenplan offers is one that allows you to take a peek into both tax and audit, which is not common in the industry. To any college students looking for internships, large corporations may be what the university pushes you towards but don’t be afraid to apply to smaller companies. My decision to work for a mid-sized firm has allowed me work with various levels of staff and most importantly find a company that has become like a family to me. #DiscoverWG#internships#culture
Jay Kodeswaran has accepted our return offer. What a relief!
Over his internship, Jay has become a residential expert in many domains. He is an essential part of our team.
How does he become so important as a new grad?
It's simple: Jay has the knowledge and the experiences.
The requirement is the same for everyone, whether you are an undergrad, a graduate student, a PhD, or a senior employee at big tech. To be effective in a job, you need knowledge and experience.
There is a path to get that knowledge and experience -- more internships.
Jay walks through his example and demonstrates that it's possible to do many internships over four years in college.
The extra benefit of doing many internships is to learn what you like and dislike early on, which is probably one of the most important factors of long-term career success.
