The life of an intern- From North Central College to the Naperville Cultural Center
My name is Will Murray. I am a student at North Central College and I began my life as an intern on April 5th, 2008. Since early September of this year (actually much longer before that) I began looking forward to ending my life as a student and graduating in June with a degree in Psychology. As the list of classes I needed to complete before graduation grew smaller and smaller, my academic advisor informed me I needed to have an internship to graduate and I should try to find one as soon as possible. I thought to myself, “Yeah, yeah. I’ll get on that eventually… I still have several months before I graduate. That’s plenty of time.” Several months later, while assisting my Cultural Psychology Professor with research, she asked me how my internship search was coming along. When I mentioned that I hadn’t thought much about it, she suggested I look at available positions at the Naperville Cultural Center. What a great idea! While I had never been to the center before, I had visited the website and looked at the different programs and classes the center offers. With my strong interest in culture I thought this would be the perfect internship for me. Shortly after I applied to be a volunteer, and here I am! Working in a cross-cultural environment

Will is a fabulous intern, he doesn't mention it, but he has many international experiences and is a perfect fit~ We'll be sad to see him go in June, but appreciate his time now. And, congratulations are due to him: He will be a part of the Peace Corps starting in January 09! Yay! Congrats, Will! You're helping change the world, man!
