Student Testimonials
''Over the last 4 weeks, I have been working alongside the Director of Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility, as well as the Public relations advisor and Senior Marketing advisor at JACOB. Shadowing my colleagues has been a crucial element to my overall understanding of CSR. It has educated me on how to market a clothing retailer as socially responsible, which I feel is as important as following through with the initiatives themselves. Being a month into my stay at JACOB as the CSR/ Sustainability intern, I now have good insight as to what to expect on the job and am even more motivated to pursue my interests in Corporate/ Personal Social Responsibility. I fully appreciate the opportunity and would definitely suggest it to my peers!''

"Working with R4 and learning about true sustainability was a very rewarding summer internship. I found it provided a depth of involvement that was both a challenge I could overcome, and a work environment that was fun and comfortable to be in. I feel that this experience will be a great addition to my resume, as well as my professional career path."
