TESTIMONIALS
STUDENTS

"The internship was absolutely fantastic. I worked 40 hours a week for 3 months paid doing what I've always wanted to do. I did some 2D work in flash, but mostly 3D work, modeling and texturing in Max. I got the chance to work alongside some of the best artists I've ever run across and learn from them. I learned industry standard software and will probably have a job when I graduate. I really encourage students to apply to The CSU Media Internship program and seek whatever avenues that are available to them to find an internship. My internship improved my skills and gave me the opportunity to socialize with future coworkers and to network. The social aspect of this industry is as important as one's ability to get the job done. So, getting out there and meeting professionals is of dire importance."

CSU Chico

"The people in the company were super nice, kind, and good at teaching. I learned how to use cameras, set up equipment to shoot commissions/events, edit footage with Avid, and more. The most useful thing I learned in the internship is how to be professional (how to work professionally)."

Yasufumi Higuchi
SFSU

"The summer internship I had was awesome! I was a studio/control room intern at Revision3, which is basically a TV station on the web. They are the leader in their field, and it was cool to meet a lot of the people I've watched on TV and the web for so long. I learned a great deal from the experience. They didn't stick me with boring tasks like getting coffee or making copies. They let me pick some of my own projects and do a lot of other things at the company--from directing their Friday morning live show in the control room to re-wiring their patch panels in the racks. Staying at SFSU was also great. The dorm room they put me in was more like an apartment and less like a dorm. And the food wasn't bad either!"

EMPLOYERS

"We couldn't ask for anything more from our two perfect CSU Media interns. The students are diligent, hard-working, reliable, and best of all, desire to absorb as much television production experience as possible. It's refreshing and fun to have CSU students join our team. We will continue to recruit from the CSU Media Internship program in the future!"
"It's a fantastic program for employers and students alike."
