The last place Jailene Perez expected to discover her calling was in quarantine. But that's exactly what happened when the senior English major began interning at Providence Media Group, publisher of six award-winning lifestyle magazines, including pvdmonthly, so_rimag, thebaymag & heyrhody. Due to #covid19, Jailene is interning from home, coordinating with editors elyse.press.major & m.e.schmit through email and Google Meet sessions. "Even through the computer screen, I can feel their caring," she says. "Everyone wants to be of help to me." She even got to write a round-up of Independence Day activities that's currently on the homepage of their website! (Swipe to see.) "I definitely recommend that students pick up an internship whether remotely or on site, whether they're a freshman or they're going into their final semester of college," Jailene says. "It teaches you things you can't learn in the classroom, like how to be a professional in your field." And if you're thinking of following in Jailene's footsteps, editor-in-chief Elyse Major '93 (#RICAlumni) says, "As a proud alum, I'm always happy to host interns. Almost every semester we have at least two interns and most of them have been from Rhode Island College."
