“It has been such a pleasure serving as the Communications and Marketing Intern. The program provided me with hands-on experience and great insight. I value what I have learned and experienced during my time as an intern with the Arts Council of Johnson County.  It was so rewarding to serve as the liaison for the community and it taught me so much more than any classroom could.
