This summer, students from the University of Delaware’s Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics discovered new avenues for professional preparation and practical hands-on experience. Lerner College students pursued an array of internships, externships and other professional development opportunities. From MBA scholars to undergraduates entering their second year at UD, students across a spectrum of Lerner programs shared their experiences accomplishing an assortment of projects.

Each profile of our “My Summer Internship” series will provide a glimpse into one of these unique experiences and how students applied knowledge from their studies to be successful in the real-world.

Dominic Guido, class of 2025 sports management major, spent his summer on the member service team at Wilmington Country Club. 

Lerner: How did you find out about this internship? Why did you pursue it?

Guido: I met my site supervisor through Professor Allgood’s Applied Facility Management class. I pursued the internship because working at a country club was new for me and would push me out of my comfort zone. 

Lerner: What was the most exciting task or project that you completed?

Guido: Wilmington Country Club’s 84th Member Invitational. 

Lerner: What did you learn from the internship that you think you would not have learned elsewhere?

Guido: This internship gave me a golden opportunity to work on my communication and networking skills that I don’t think I would have received anywhere else.

Lerner: What is an example of a time where you were able to apply what you’ve learned at Lerner to your role?

Guido: Lerner really prepared me to manage my time effectively at work. I was able to accomplish tasks quickly by taking initiative amongst my coworkers.  

Lerner: Did you face any challenges during your internship? If so, what was the issue and how did you overcome it?

Guido: Anywhere you go you will experience cooperation challenges amongst peers. What sets our Blue Hens apart is our ability to handle these types of situations professionally.

Lerner: What are your career plans, and how do you think the internship will push you closer to your professional goals?

Guido: My career will be focused on continuing the growth of the game of hockey. Whether that be in the front office of a professional team, or on the bench of a college hockey program, my role as a leader during my internship helped me visual myself growing as a young leader in the professional world.
