How They Spent Their Summer Vacation

From the Penn Stater Magazine (8/24/11):

In our Sept./Oct. issue, now arriving in mailboxes, you'll meet a handful of Penn State students who landed some coveted summer internships—and completely bust the myth that "internship" = "grunt work."

In addition to the nine students profiled in the print edition, we thought you'd also enjoy hearing about a 10th: Audrey Snyder, who spent the summer in Milwaukee covering the Brewers for MLB.com. A senior in the College of Communications and a sports fanatic, Snyder was one of only 30 students nationwide to score the MLB gig, and the only intern covering the Brewers, making for a packed schedule and tight deadlines. Snyder squeezed in a few minutes (on a game day, no less) to talk to me about her job:
