Summer Update by Megan Pauley

This summer I am a marketing intern in Villanova University's athletic department.  I work with two other interns to promote Villanova athletics around the greater Philadelphia region.  I research, schedule, and attend events that will help raise awareness for Villanova's athletic program.  I have been to a number of events so far including sports camps in the community, 5K races, and the Wawa Welcome America Party on the Parkway in Philadelphia on the 4th of July.  I have also attended Villanova sponsored events, like their various sports camps around campus and alumni weekend.  My internship has allowed me to meet a number of Villanova athletes and coaches, and I am learning a lot about the marketing aspect of collegiate athletics.
