    What Walton Students Say

    “The best part of being an intern is gaining real-world experience. During my internship, I had the opportunity to observe and understand the supply chain and its impact on the business. Additionally, I was able to build professional relationships and expand my network, which significantly contributed to my professional development.” - Aaryn Satterfield (Lockheed Martin Internship)

    “The best part of being an intern is being given the opportunity to be able to learn and absorb as much information as possible. You can learn so much more doing the job compared to learning from a textbook. It is a great honor to have a voice from a fresh perspective and make an impact on business decisions.” - Soumya Kolluru (Walmart Internship)

    “Internships facilitate experience and complement much of the fundamentals we teach and reinforce through experiential learning in our classrooms. They help achieve two things for each of our students: validate their skill and competency in the marketplace and position them for post graduation opportunities in a very competitive landscape - they are of central importance in what we do.”
