Anthony Barranco SENIOR
Senior
Major: Business Administration
Concentration: Human Resources
Internship: Colgate-Palmolive
I have interned in HR at Yonkers City Hall and
Abigail Kirsch and both experiences have taught
me a number of useful HR skills. However, this summer I joined a larger Human
Resources team at Colgate-Palmolive.
International Italian American Society
One of my main projects was to travel to Maine for a month and create training
curriculums for sales and marketing teams. I researched training courses,
contacted and networked with other Colgate-Palmolive employees and trainers
across the country. I conducted a needs assessment for each team, and created
a 24-month training curriculum. In total, I developed 32 unique training paths
customized to develop competency needs desired by each team member. It was
an opportunity filled with amazing learning experiences. The company trusted me
to deliver results and it feels amazing that I produced something that will make a
real difference in the organization.
As I began my internship, I hoped to find a mentor because I believe it is important
to have someone you can trust by your side when you are in a new professional
environment. Mentoring is heavily encouraged at Colgate-Palmolive and my
supervisor became mine. He has been a tremendous influence throughout my
internship, providing feedback on my performance and advice on developing my
HR skills.
At Colgate-Palmolive there are also endless networking opportunities. During my
first few weeks, my supervisor made sure that I had contact with other professionals
in the HR department. Also, as I worked on my project I met other professionals
within the sales, marketing, and finance divisions. Colgate-Palmolive has an open
door policy and people are more than happy to help interns in any way they can.
In the end we are all on one team striving for the company’s success and I think
everyone understands this. It’s the reason that connecting with others throughout
this massive organization has become second nature.

My advice to Marist students would be to always remain focused but always have
some fun. Complete at least one internship before you reach your senior year.
Internships are amazing because they give you an inside look at what you will
encounter after graduation. The experience you gain is something that textbooks
and professors cannot teach you. It is critical to become active in the “real world”
while preparing to become a young professional and it will absolutely pay off!

Major: Computer Science
Concentration: Game Design
Minor: Interactive Media
Internship: Ubisoft
Games are my passion and it has been my dream to have
a chance to work in the game industry. I would have done
anything for even a small chance to be a part of the process
that produces huge, multi-million dollar games. Ubisoft in Montreal, Canada, was
the ideal choice for me because they are a forerunner in the games industry and one
of the world’s largest publishing companies, producing games such as Rayman and
Assassins Creed, and using amazing computer technology.
As a Network Programmer Intern, I was part of an online programming team for
an as yet unannounced AAA video game. The team was responsible for online
functionality of the game in development. I designed and implemented tools that
will assist the team in maintaining operations when the game launches, along
with features in the game itself. I used C++ and C# programming languages, and
assisted in planning future game features.
My supervisor had several years of experience at Ubisoft. He worked on more
than six games, including Far Cry 3 and the movie-to-game adaptation of James
Cameron’s Avatar. He mentored me throughout the internship. His supervisor and
the rest of the online team also showed me the ropes. Everyone was extremely
friendly and easy to relate to.
The network potential has been amazing. Ubisoft Montreal employs more than
2,000 employees and there are about 30 other offices around the world who often
share projects. The employees are people from many countries around the world.
It was a fascinating experience to meet so many people of different origins. That,
coupled with the fact that “everyone knows everyone” in this industry, I believe I
have only scratched the surface of this internship’s networking potential.
I would absolutely take a job at Ubisoft if offered one. This has been my dream
for a very long time and the internship has far exceeded my expectations. It is a
fantastic workplace with lots of exciting opportunities and potential. Even though it
would mean working outside of the U.S. for a while, I would accept an offer almost
immediately.
My advice to Marist students about internships? Expand your horizons and dare
to try new things. Be sure to keep your LinkedIn and Web portfolios up to date
because this is extremely important when you are seeking opportunities. That’s how
Ubisoft found me; I didn’t even apply. Luck plays a part in your success, but you can
definitely improve your luck by making sure you are visible online.

WGGB is the leading local news station in my
hometown in Western Massachusetts, so I have
been a loyal viewer for as long as I can remember. Considering my major
and minor and after working in college and public television studios for
several years, I was anxious to intern in a professional studio. Working with
WGGB, popularly referred to as ABC40, as a News and Production intern,
I was able to be a part of the news team working with anchors, reporters,
and the production crew.
The position allowed a great amount of freedom in terms of tasks and
responsibilities. I was able work in the studio during filming, assist on
shoots in the field, and help edit and manage stories in the newsroom
before filming. My supervisor was the managing editor and is a veteran
in the news production field. He is also the anchor for the 5:00, 5:30, and
6:00 o’clock evening programs. In addition to my supervisor, I was able to
network with a variety of professionals in different stages of their careers.
Particularly, it was incredible to talk about breaking into the TV industry with
recent college graduates hired by ABC40.
Internships are not easy to come by in a competitive field like TV production.
I started in January and applied for more than 20 summer internships. It
seemed like a never-ending process, but I finally got the offer in April. My
advice is to put yourself out there, and take it as an opportunity to show the
world how qualified, dedicated, and hardworking you are. Check out big
name companies, non-profits, and local affiliates, because you never know
where that opportunity is waiting.
If you can, do more than one internship. I have had three other internships
at GIG Marketing, LiveHotSpot NYC, and the Adirondack Theatre Festival.
Each experience is helping me narrow down my prospective career path as
I learn where my real strengths lie.
The way I found this opportunity is…well, let me
start over again. This opportunity actually found
me. A while ago I received a LinkedIn message
from a Dolce & Gabbana recruiter. He had heard
about me from a woman I met at my very first internship with Perry Ellis (your
connections are everything in fashion and many other industries, so treat them
with great care). Since my personal niche is luxury and Dolce & Gabbana is
an Italian luxury industry fashion house, I made sure I reconnected with the
recruiter when I returned from studying abroad in Paris. It was a great feeling
to land the position as a Buyer Intern.
Since buying incorporates all other departments, there is a lot of interaction
among them. My primary activities were to run the daily sales when I was
in the office. I also ran a weekly season versus season recap report that
showed how sales and stock units were performing. From time to time
I would allocate stock from store to store based on requests from sales
associates and customers. This is all done by analysis of numbers (sell-thru
and true stock). I created buy books for the fall/winter season and updated
shipping reports per store. I also attended store meetings and walk-throughs,
which are excellent opportunities to gain more knowledge of the sales team,
products in the store and set-ups done by the visual team.
My supervisors were outstanding, always thoroughly explaining the tasks that
needed to be done. Taking notes has been the best way for me to keep on top
of things without having to rely on my supervisors. Whenever I approached
a new task I knew I could function independently without bothering anyone
by relying on my notes.
Networking is extremely important whether you are looking for an internship
or that first full-time job after graduation. Networking can get your resume
passed on to people who can give you a great learning opportunity, like mine.
My advice for Marist students who want to intern is, always take the initiative,
always act professionally (dress the part as well), and always take notes!

Major: Accounting
Internship: KPMG
Getting an internship at one of the “Big Four”
accounting firms is very difficult. However, this
summer I was lucky enough to be hired as an
Audit Intern at KPMG, a prestigious firm that
offers excellent experience in the accounting field. When the internship
began, I went to Orlando, Florida, to participate in a training program with
1,400 other KPMG interns. The summer was off to a great start.
Auditing is client based work and I was assigned to three different clients.
My main tasks were to analyze financial statements, check mathematical
accuracy, tick and tie work papers, roll data forward from the prior year,
and check internal controls by applying procedures such as substantive
testing and the test of details. I also accompanied my supervisors on
walk-throughs to gain an understanding of the procedures each client
used to issue their financial statements. A very important opportunity I
had was to work with a client with a past issue of fraud. U.S. businesses
must abide by numerous laws and regulations and auditors have specific
responsibilities when auditing those with a fraud history. The work is more
intensive; extra attention is given to performing the test of control, and
a larger number of samples are required to verify financial statements.
Since I worked with three clients, I had three different supervisors, all of
whom are highly skilled, experienced employees at KPMG. Auditing is
based on teamwork and my supervisors stressed the interdependence
and communication skills needed to succeed in a team environment.
They always assigned me challenging tasks and were there to support
me as I worked them through.
I would definitely accept a full-time position, if offered one, because I
enjoy the work, the environment and most of all, the people who work
at KPMG.
The Circle
It has been said that an opportunity will not come to you, but that you
must knock on the door of opportunity. My suggestion for Marist students is that they build and expand their networks, including current
Marist interns and alumni, because you never know which door will lead
you to where you want to be.
SENIOR
Major: Biomedical Sciences
Internships: Family Vision Center /
Highland Optometry
I always knew I wanted to have a career in the
medical field, so after doing some research I
decided to begin by taking a look into the field
of Optometry.
My first internship was with Dr. Bywater at
Highland Optometry in Highland, NY. I fell in
love with the field as I observed everything from
general eye exams and contact lens fittings to
eye injuries and vision correction surgery consultations.
Dr. Bywater loved to answer my questions and taught me so many
things about instrument usage and eye anatomy. I conducted a research study for him by comparing two eye pressure instruments for
their accuracy and reliability.
For the past two semesters I have furthered my internship experience
with Dr. Genshaft at Family Vision Center in Hyde Park, NY. In addition
to telling some pretty great jokes, he has taught me how to use nearly
all the equipment in the examination rooms. In addition, his patients
kindly allowed me to look at their eyes with the scopes. I have become
more comfortable with patient interaction by watching him. He even
took a few hours out of his busy day to do a mock exam with me where
I played the doctor!
An internship is so much more than just earning more college credits or
having something great to put on your resume. My internships not only
amplified my eagerness for the field but also gave me connections and
a strong foundation to further my education. You can never really be
sure if you’re right for a profession until you dive into it and an internship provides the perfect swimming pool! Both of my internships were
such positive experiences that I can’t wait to have interns myself when
I have my own practice!
My advice to Marist students is that internships are essential to build
connections and gain knowledge while you are in college. The people
with whom you will intern are the ones you are aspiring to become, so
why not learn everything you can from them now?

INTRAMURALS • club sports • RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS
Marist College is very proud of its extracurricular activities, which range from club sports to intramural
and recreational activities.
Club sports are seasonal and compete against other regional college programs. Intramurals offer any
student, whether expert or novice, the chance to play on a team without the time demands of a club
sport. Intramurals are designed to be co-ed, female, and/or male teams, and can change yearly depending on student interest. Recreational activities offer non-competitive programs ranging from golf and
pilates, to roller skating and indoor rock climbing. Students interested in participating in either club
sports, intramurals, or recreational programs should contact Intramural Office, x2482, for information
on how to get involved.

exciting ways to nurture all aspects of your being – mind and body? I am a Certified Yoga Teacher, Meditation Teacher and Reiki Master-Teacher. My quest for personal transformation through the ancient healing
arts began more than 30 years ago. I have learned many intriguing and powerful techniques for personal
transformation along the way, which I wish to share with you!

and strengthen particular parts of the body and to calm the nervous system), and meditations drawn from
different traditions around the globe (which help to improve relaxation/stress management skills and
improve sleeping patterns among other things
You should bring a notebook and mat, and wear loose, comfortable clothing. Please try to arrive a few
minutes early so that you have time to settle in before class begins. Leave your worldly cares and troubles
outside the door. Picture yourself entering an environment of peace and relaxation. Lie down quietly on
your mat, relax, and allow yourself to enter into the experience of being “here and now.” There is a lot of
fun and interesting material to cover, and regular attendance is highly recommended.
KhanAcademy.org is a website that provides
free lessons in several subjects that students
are able to take on-line.
The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an exciting, non-credit certificate program providing students
with varied and unique opportunities to define, discover, and develop their personal leadership style.
Join the hundreds of students who learn to lead at Marist from an interdisciplinary team of national
and local experts.
What’s in it for you? A meaningful and practical experience…hot topics… enhanced community
connection…resume building…developing key contacts… a running record of your participation in
the program and a certificate of completion for students who attend at least five workshops…and
much more.
What does it cost? Nothing but your time and a speedy response. ELP offerings are announced via a
campus-wide e-mail. Registration for each workshop is limited to the first 50 respondents, but with
a few clicks of the mouse, you can join a large and dynamic group of future leaders. Don’t miss out
on this special opportunity.
Questions about the program can be sent to Emerging.Leaders@Marist.edu. Look for us on the
