He had found her a unique 10-week position funded through the\u00a0General Motors (GM)\u00a0Student Corps Program in which she would be\u00a0working with ten Flint Southwestern Classical Academy students and two GM retirees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Student Corps Program was started in GM by one of my past communication students now at GM,\u201d said McGill. \u201cThe program accomplishes an amazing amount of positive change within communities and GM\u2019s contribution is significant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe intern\u2019s work is both physically and mentally difficult and they apply the leadership, management, public relations, and problem-solving skills they learned, \u201d continued McGill. \u201cThe interns manage budgets, payroll, and employment records for the students who are GM employees during the 10-week project. The interns are also responsible for setting up media interviews and media coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2328\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/2016\/12\/06\/um-flint-communication-major-finds-impact-in-internship\/interns3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2328\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2328\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/12\/interns3.jpg\" alt=\"Skye Whitcomb (far left) stands with her Flint Southwestern high school students outside GM\u2019S Flint Assembly Plant.\" width=\"430\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/12\/interns3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/12\/interns3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2328\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Skye Whitcomb (far left) stands with her Flint Southwestern high school students outside GM\u2019S Flint Assembly Plant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The program provides significant funding to the high school students so they can complete\u00a0meaningful\u00a0projects. \u201cThe students chose what community and school projects they wanted to do and then we planned them,\u201d remembered Whitcomb. \u201cWe worked on the playground at Broome Park, projects at Berston Field House, library floors, a new mural, and the tennis court at the high school. The retirees and I showed the students how to complete these different tasks since they hadn\u2019t done them before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitcomb connected with the Southwestern students by sharing her life experiences and involving them in charity work. Said\u00a0Whitcomb, \u201cI really enjoyed taking the students to my farm and opening their eyes to agriculture and farming. Also working with the students to encourage that they save money, and working with the United Way to donate $10,000 to the Flint Child Health &amp; Development Fund, which was matched by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation for $20,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2327\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2327\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/2016\/12\/06\/um-flint-communication-major-finds-impact-in-internship\/interns2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2327\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2327\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/12\/interns2.jpg\" alt=\"Skye Whitcomb captures high school students repairing tennis courts at their high school during her UM-Flint Communication internship\" width=\"430\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/12\/interns2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/12\/interns2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2327\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Skye Whitcomb captures high school students repairing tennis courts at their high school during her UM-Flint Communication internship<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Whitcomb captured the group\u2019s activities in photographs\u2014both a requirement of the internship and one of her\u00a0personal hobbies. At the end of the internship she and some of the students decorated a board at their high school to showcase their summer of hard work.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what surprised her about the internship experience, Whitcomb responded, \u201cHow much I bonded with the students. I also learned so many things to take to my professional career.\u00a0Working with such an age range, high school students and two GM retirees, I think really prepared me for many different types of people I may have to work with in a future job.\u201d She also noted that learning to facilitate conversation between the two groups was a significant takeaway from the experience.<\/p>\n<p>The bond between intern and the high school students also surprised Dr. McGill: \u201cOne notable thing I did not really expect when we started the program was that the interns also serve as role models for the students who often don\u2019t get to personally know working college students or see themselves as college students. They often grow very close and form longtime friendships.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2326\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2326\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/2016\/12\/06\/um-flint-communication-major-finds-impact-in-internship\/interns1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2326\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2326\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/12\/interns1.jpg\" alt=\"UM-Flint Communication major Skye Whitcomb (far right) and students from Flint Southwestern Classical Academy\" width=\"430\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/12\/interns1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/12\/interns1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">UM-Flint Communication major Skye Whitcomb (far right) and students from Flint Southwestern Classical Academy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The lessons learned during Whitcomb\u2019s\u00a0internship are exactly why the UM-Flint Communication Studies department has moved toward requiring internships for their students. Said Dr. McGill, \u201cI find the GM Student Corps internship to be like many of our Communication Studies internships, if the interns are willing to work hard and learn, it can be a major experiential stepping stone for them, a networking opportunity, and an important entry on their r\u00e9sum\u00e9. Honestly though, this one is special to me because I get to watch them grow and apply what they have learned.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Choosing UM-Flint Communication<\/h3>\n<p>Whitcomb originally chose UM-Flint Communication as her major after researching career interests and the associated degrees. And she appreciated that the campus was close to home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery class I was in, I was intrigued.\u00a0I also enjoyed many of my fellow classmates, and my teachers made coming to class awesome and something I looked forward to,\u201d recalled Whitcomb. \u201cThe professors were always so willing to help the students with anything and were always wanting what was best for us. This was the right choice for me because I found the jobs that were associated with the degree were where I wanted to work for my life career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitcomb is looking forward to graduation, and\u00a0has advice for the UM-Flint Communication Studies students who are following in her footsteps: \u201cTake advantage of everything that is offered to you. Get involved in clubs and get to know your professors. Make connections, and spend time researching and looking for an internship that is right for you and where you want to go with your future career. I believe that an internship is necessary, helpful, and will give you the experience you cannot get in a classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For more information on UM-Flint Communication Studies visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/communication\">umflint.edu\/communication<\/a>\u00a0or contact Dr. Tony McGill with questions about their internship program:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:amcgill@umflint.edu\">amcgill@umflint.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When she graduates in December 2016,\u00a0UM-Flint Communication Studies\u00a0major Skye Whitcomb will be leaving the university with knowledge of her discipline and the memory of a life-changing internship experience.
