This is a blog post about my experience as an intern for the History, Anthropology, and Classics Department. – Pierce Greer<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Writing for the History, Anthropology, and Classics (HAC) Department has been a wonderful experience. With this internship, I have grown as a person and developed many of my skills. It pushed me outside my comfort zone. I have also become much more sociable. At first, I was unused to the work. As the year progressed, I grew accustomed to it, and the work became second nature. I worked with wonderful people each week and talked to almost every professor about their experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

My responsibility for this internship was writing blog posts for the department’s website. During our weekly meetings, someone would suggest a blog idea, and I would pursue it. Each blog was different, but I always had to interact with someone new. I sent emails asking for a quick interview, and then I would take notes on their experiences. After I collected all the information I needed, I wrote a rough draft and edited it. The last step was asking someone to proofread it, and then I published it using WordPress<\/span>. Every blog post was a rewarding experience, especially the earlier ones. I had to put in the work for them to be high quality. At the same time, I was inexperienced with WordPress at the beginning. As the year progressed, I became better at using it. Besides WordPress, I developed my Canva skills while putting together random event flyers and the Monday Minute every other week. Canva was confusing sometimes, but I pushed through and made it work.<\/p>\n

Being an intern for the HAC Department has been an excellent experience. It pushed me to grow, and I developed and learned skills along the way. I also got to work with many wonderful people and build connections with many people in the HAC Department. Although I do not know what I want to do in the future, this internship has allowed me to grow. I got to see what work I like and how I can try and find it after I graduate from Butler University. I had a lot of fun. This internship has helped me in multiple ways, and I am forever grateful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
