Pi Phi Summer Days; Allison

Speaking of cool summer internships, junior Allison B. had probably one of the coolest of them all. Allison worked as a Ad Production intern at Collegehumor!


"This summer I interned at CollegeHumor and it was a dream come true! I've been a huge fan of the website for years now, so it was surreal to be working in the same office as all of my favorite actors/writers. I was an Ad Production intern, so I worked alongside the Ad Production team to organize and coordinate the ad campaigns that run on the site. Although this may seem like this is the serious business side of CollegeHumor, I guarantee you it is not (considering the frequent nerf gun wars that took place around me). I learned a lot over my 2 1/2 months working and it was especially interesting seeing the back end of how a website runs and is funded. In addition to learning and working, I met some truly great people. Everyone I met at CollegeHumor (interns and employees) was so nice and welcoming. I became really close with all the interns and the employees did an awesome job of incorporating us into the tight-knit office community. I had so much fun and this internship was overall a great experience!"

"In addition to the everyday awesomeness of working in the CollegeHumor office, some of the extra special highlights include:
-Going to Governor's Ball (a music festival) with my fellow interns and our bosses
-Being an extra in a Jake and Amir sketch!!! Watch it here!
-Working backstage at CollegeHumor's annual Offline comedy show
-Intern Appreciation Karaoke Night"
