Football's Summer Internship Program in Full Swing
July 09, 2014 | Football
The Muncie community supports the Ball State football program and its hard work through providing professional job opportunities, internships and mentoring the young people during the summer months.
"The summer internship program we began four years ago has been a tremendous vehicle for our best and brightest student-athletes to receive real world experience, while preparing for the upcoming football season," said Ball State head football coach Pete Lembo. "In the process, we have built some great partnerships with various businesses and organizations in the Muncie Community. The combination of developing our student-athletes in a holistic way and allowing many local residents to connect with them in a meaningful way has been a real win-win for our football program."
