This summer, I had the opportunity to participate in The Leadership Academy’s Memphis the Summer Experience 09. The activities and social events that I attended through this program allowed me to gain more perspective of the Bluff City. This summer, I worked as a summer graduate assistant for my department @ the University of Memphis. I was able to attend valuable workshops lead by business leaders of the city.
The rooftop reception at the Pembroke Bldg (near Peabody Place) was an excellent adventure. I enjoyed discovering this place and many more. The exploration didn’t stop at the Peabody, I was also invited to Shelby Farms, the Memphis Music Foundation, the beautiful Ornamental Museum grounds that overlooks the river and out to Trolley Night!
I had a great time learning and networking at these events with Memphis’ city leaders and the other interns that came from across the country.
