Twenty Fayetteville State University students excelled in paid internship opportunities through a partnership with the Broadwell College of Business and Economics and State Employees Credit Union (SECU).
The 2023 SECU Public Fellows Internship Program provided students with hands-on experience and mentorship in a diverse range of sectors like local government, non-profit, healthcare, technology, education and marketing organizations.
“Collaboration with SECU stands as a driving force for progress and success across various domains,” said Program Director Rodney McCrowre, Ph.D. in a press release. “These partnerships enable our students to leverage resources, mitigate risks, stimulate innovation, and collectively address complex challenges. Ultimately, this synergy leads to the creation of a better, more interconnected world.”
McCrowre, an assistant department chair and assistant professor of management in the Broadwell College of Business and Economics, led the FSU’s fourth cohort of students through internships with partners like the City of Fayetteville, Cape Fear Valley Health System, Action Pathways and Better Health for Cumberland County.
