Alyn Wallace, '19, Intern at CJ 4DPLEX, Summer 2019

September 10, 2019

In all honesty, I was not sure what to expect from my internship at CJ 4DPLEX; a strange combination of events meant that I was not introduced to any members of my team until less than a week before I joined the team. Because of those same confluence of events, I also had no idea what would be expected of me. I was told that I was the first intern this team had ever had, and, for a while, it showed. I’m not convinced that they knew what to do with me and I kept surprising them anytime I’d finish something quickly.

The first day at work I didn’t move from my seat because I was...

Geraldine Cisneros, '20, Intern at CJ ENM, Summer 2019

September 10, 2019

I vividly remember the first time I considered applying for the internship at CJ ENM and all the questions and concerns that others would voice to me as soon as I mentioned the possibility. I was a junior who had never delved into the entertainment or business industries and whose activities and classes solely reflected a trajectory in pre-medicine and psychology. My background and interests always led to the same questions from myself and others: Why CJ ENM? Aren’t you pre-med? Shouldn’t you be doing research for the summer? Why are you suddenly interested in marketing and entertainment...
