Meet Lydia Carroll. She’s a senior scholar-athlete majoring in business administration. This summer she's been interning at Northrop Grumman in their Strike Division Finance Team.“Though I cannot share much of what my work entails because it is classified, my project is to create a Financial Health Metric report card that is generalized and easy to use by all programs. I got this internship through Career Services Handshake program, where students can learn about all the cool internship opportunities. Florida Tech also had Northrop Grumman recruiters visit campus a few times to provide students the opportunity to network and ask questions about internships directly to the company representatives. I am still unsure of the career I intend to pursue after graduation, but my time at Florida Tech helped me build a large network of contacts. The business program here uniquely sets students up for success because it gives them a versatile degree that helps open many professional doors. It allows students to interact with diverse faculty who have different experiences in the business world. I think students should make it a point to attend career fairs, start getting their name out there, and make good connections with professors and classmates.”Congratulations, Lydia!
