Why Student Interns Are a Game-Changer
No matter the market, today’s college students are smart, ambitious, and incredibly plugged in. They’re not just studying business, media, and marketing—they’re living it. From TikTok trends to Gen Z social habits, interns bring fre`sh perspectives and creative energy to any business.
As Sydney shared in her AthensCEO interview:
"The UGA student body is filled with smart, ambitious, and tech-savvy individuals. They represent the future of your customer base and can bring fresh ideas and perspectives to your business, keeping it young, innovative, and fun."
Our Experience Across the Southeast

This is a model we’ve replicated in each of our markets, and it’s made a big impact. When we say “by students, for students,” we mean it.
