Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz with La Salle student, alum

Hi,

Check out this picture of Phils catcher Carlos Ruiz between communication major Maryellen Brennan (left) and '90 communication grad Ellen Kolodzeij (right); Kolodzeij works for CCI Communications, which produces the Phillies post-game show and the Charlie Manuel Show for Channel 17; Maryellen is interning with CCI this summer (and has done on-air appearances for another show CCI produces, Inside Golf, which airs on Comcast Sports.


The Philadephia Metro is doing a story on summer interns and has interviewed Maryellen; I was told the story will run possibly 7/31 or 8/7. Before the reporter spoke with Maryellen, I asked her two questions: where you learning anything on the job and were you able to apply what you learned in class to the job. She answered yes to both questions, which was important; I want readers to know that our students are prepared for internships and once they get one they do real work (as opposed to getting coffee or loading film into a camera).
