Olsen Design seeking a summer intern

One of Stout's grads who works at Olson Design in MSP called to ask my why no Stout people have applied. If you are interested in an internship for the summer--get your digital book to these people now because they are making a decision this week.

Contact kwolf@oco.com - Karl was a bit upset that he saw no Stout interest.

It looks like on their site that the Web Development Internship was due May 5th... Not sure if that's the position they are trying to fill.

Serve Marketing seeing a part time intern

Serve is a nonprofit advertising/marketing agency whose mission is to give under served charitable causes a stronger voice in the community. Since 2002, Serve has helped create behavior-changing marketing campaigns for over 30 non-profits, both locally and nationally, on issues ranging from teen homelessness, child sexual violence and shaken baby syndrome to teen pregnancy, ovarian cancer and gun violence. To date, Serve has donated over $11 million of in-kind creative, media, web, pr and strategic planning services to non-profits, in an effort to raise their profile and increase their impact in ours and other local communities.

We are looking for students who are able to work in a fast paced environment, have an outgoing, passionate personality, and can multitask. Determination to get the job done is a must. This position allows students to wear many hats and helps to define which areas (like PR, Sales, Production, Marketing, etc) interest them. This is a great opportunity for students to make contacts within the marketing and advertising communities in Milwaukee.

This internship would require a 15-20 hour weekly commitment and is paid.

Students should contact Brittin Haury

They are looking for an email marketing designer and a basic entry level product development designer to fit the look and feel of their product lines.

If your curious about Big Dot of Happiness and what your possible roles would be just e-mail Sherri. sherri@BigDotOfHappiness.com 800.274.4282 x 203
This is a great opportunity. We just got done with portfolio 1 on 1 in the cities and very few companies are using interns this summer let alone hiring designers. Plus it's right in Menomonie so how closer could you get? From the looks of it, Big Dot of Happiness kind of reminds me of Gartner Studios in Stillwater which was the parent company of my past internship. Just being around this type of thing will open your eyes and will be such a great experience. Plus, how cool would it be if people can buy the things you helped designed?
