What You'll Learn
True Calling
The moment I first stepped on campus, it felt like home. When I heard about the connections you make with the professors and alumnae, that put everything in place for me. I don’t think I’d be where I am, or who I am, today if I went somewhere else. I’m just really thankful to Hollins for giving me so many opportunities and helping me pursue things I’m so passionate about.

“Hollins propelled me to this opportunity at Berland Strategy & Analytics and made me ready and confident enough to accept it. My education in business, Spanish, and women’s leadership is what allowed me to take on this position and be as successful as I have been. My Hollins internships not only shaped my understanding of what kind of work I would be interested in but also gave me the opportunity to learn new skills, network, and fall in love with cities like my new home, New York City.”

Marketing Strategies
“The Hollins business department has given me so many wonderful opportunities during my years here. During my sophomore year, I had an internship with Prehype in NYC where I learned how to assess consumer needs. I also worked with one of their former ventures and now very successful business, BarkBox. I was able to learn marketing strategies, the basics of coding, and the ins and outs of every major department (marketing, sales, etc.). I took the introduction to entrepreneurship course my sophomore year which led to another internship that summer. My junior and senior years were filled with exciting business classes, where I was able to apply my minor in psychology to the new business concepts I was learning. During the summer before my senior year, I worked with RAMP, the Regional Accelerator and Mentorship Program for startups. RAMP paired me with a startup where I helped analyze the target markets and their purchasing behaviors. I developed graphs and models to present to my team that helped uncover any problem areas. I am so thankful for the many opportunities the Hollins business department has given me!”
