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)
