JAMS Program Internship & Networking Fair returns for another successful semester

The annual JAMS Internship & Networking Fair took place February 25 in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Union Ballroom as local businesses and organizations in advertising, public relations, journalism and communications came to participate. The fair happens every spring semester for the JAMS (Journalism, Advertising & Media Studies) Program to allow students the chance to meet with industry professionals and prepare for the next steps in their careers.

“Chatting with professionals in our industries matters,” said Chloe Priatko, current JAMS student graduating in May 2025. “Not everyone was hiring, but it felt good to get my name out there..”

Priatko is just one of over 80 students who attended the event to meet with the likes of CBS58, WISN-12, Cramer Krasselt and more. The JAMS Program at UWM notoriously has students who start in their respective fields right after college.

The JAMS Program hosts two major events every academic year: The Internship & Networking Fair in spring and Networking Night in fall. The program also hosts a variety of guest speakers in various classes each semester.

JAMS students interested in internships should check out the resources available on Canvas (“JAMS Program Announcements”), bulletin boards in the Bolton 510 lounge and program social media channels. Additionally, information on earning credit for internships can be found on the JAMS website.
