SECCM Social Media & Events Mentor
Job Description
The Social Media & Events Intern position supports academic progress by providing a professional framework where students apply the analytical and organizational skills from their coursework to real-world technical projects. Through a three-year progression, students develop essential "hard" skills in data analysis and digital design while mastering the "soft" skills of leadership, time management, and professional communication. By documenting procedures and mentoring incoming peers, students gain experience in systems thinking and technical management, directly reinforcing the professional development goals of the SECCM curriculum and preparing them for executive roles in their future careers.

In this role you will grow from being a student worker into a Creative Director. You will graduate with management experience, a deep portfolio of digital marketing work, and the "soft skills"—like time management and independent problem-solving—that top firms value most.
