Three Marketing students in the Rankin College of Business at Southern Arkansas University recently completed internships this past summer. Those students are Lily Hesen, Kelsie Madison, and Tyler Thomas.

Lily Hesen, of Benton, worked with Outlets of Little Rock, an outlet mall. Hesen was given a variety of tasks to work on. Her internship required her to set up displays, take photos, write captions, and research different products.

Hesen, who plans to graduate in May of 2019, said her classes at SAU helped prepare her for the internship.
