professional fashion. I learned how to take good notes and write good reports. I have always done assignments with the idea in mind that I would only need to show the final project, so this was a bit of a learning experience. It was very interesting working in a team and putting not just my work product up for critique, but also my work process, having people tell me how I can be more efficient and put out better product by improving my workflow. It was very interesting learning about how to work in a collaborative environment; most school projects involve people splitting up the work and only focusing on their section of the assignment, while this internship involved collaboration on every piece of work done, allowing me to hone my teamwork, leadership, and communication skills.  &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-testimonial-img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wcsu.edu\/hslp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/12\/iken_wrd.jpg\" title=\"iken_wrd\" alt=\"iken_wrd\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-testimonial-author-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"premium-testimonial-person-name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJoseph Iken '28 | Psychology\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-testimonial-lower-quote\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg  class=\"premium-testimonial-quote\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"48\" height=\"37.5\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 37.5\"><path d=\"m21,16.5v21H0v-21.3C0,1.8,13.5,0,13.5,0l1.8,4.2s-6,.9-7.2,5.7c-1.2,3.6,1.2,6.6,1.2,6.6h11.7Zm27,0v21h-21v-21.3C27,1.8,40.5,0,40.5,0l1.8,4.2s-6,.9-7.2,5.7c-1.2,3.6,1.2,6.6,1.2,6.6h11.7Z\"\/><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-testimonial-container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-testimonial-upper-quote\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg  class=\"premium-testimonial-quote\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"48\" height=\"37.5\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 37.5\"><path d=\"m21,16.5v21H0v-21.3C0,1.8,13.5,0,13.5,0l1.8,4.2s-6,.9-7.2,5.7c-1.2,3.6,1.2,6.6,1.2,6.6h11.7Zm27,0v21h-21v-21.3C27,1.8,40.5,0,40.5,0l1.8,4.2s-6,.9-7.2,5.7c-1.2,3.6,1.2,6.6,1.2,6.6h11.7Z\"\/><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-testimonial-content-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-testimonial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"The Hancock Student Leadership program was a unique experience that offered me the opportunity to gain valuable work experience.\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-testimonial-text-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #2e2e2e\">&#8220;As someone who was indecisive about what they wanted to do as a long-term career, this experience helped me develop a better idea of what I want in a job, as well as my strengths and weaknesses in the workplace.
