Where are
Prosperity's past interns now?
Morgan Jarrett (Prosperity internship alum, 2010) has completed her junior year at Purdue University studying Agriculture Engineering with a focus in Environmental & Natural Resource Engineering. Morgan plans on graduating from Purdue in May of 2013. At Purdue she holds officer positions in her sorority, Delta Gamma, and in the professional society ASABE (American Society of Agriculture & Biological Engineers). "This year I had a great time as the crew chief for the Delta Gamma Grand Prix racing team and as a member of the Purdue Quarter Tractor Pulling Competition team," she says.
Interning with Prosperity was Morgan's first internship experience and she said: "It couldn't have been a better introduction to the professional world." She also said: "Working with Sarah [Aubrey] really helped to solidify my decision to pursue a career in the field of agriculture and gave me a fresh outlook on the workforce outside of engineering." Since her summer with Prosperity, Jarrett has worked with Grain Processing Corporation in Muscatine, Iowa and with Purdue Renewable Energy Extension. She is located in Lafayette, Indiana at Purdue for school, but still spends time with her family in Washington, Indiana. This summer she is taking summer classes and working at Purdue Renewable Energy Extension.

Rachel Bayless (Prosperity internship alum, 2011) has finished her junior year at Purdue University studying sales and marketing in the College of Agriculture. She is also pursuing a minor in communications and has plans to graduate in May of 2013. This summer Rachel is a marketing intern at Pearson Education in the Pearson Technology Group. When she returns to Purdue, she will be a marketing intern for the Center for Career Opportunities. For the summer Rachel is living in Indy and during the school year she has plans to live in an apartment in West Lafayette.
"My internship at Prosperity was a valuable learning experience" said Rachel, who admittedly had little work experience before coming to Prosperity. She said: "I left with writing experience, sales and marketing experience, and a lot more confidence." Interning with Prosperity has prepared her for more internships. While at Prosperity Rachel worked on a marketing plan for Ms. Aubrey's books and was able to work directly with the book publishers. This prepared her for her internship this summer where she works with a publishing company. "The diverse writing experience I got at Prosperity has certainly helped me land internships since," said Rachel.
