A second year Digital Communications & Media student at Lethbridge Polytechnic has been selected as this year’s winner of an internship at Global News.
“I’m so excited to go,” said Patience Omeruo, an international student from Nigeria.
“Last year, when Jody [-Ann Smikle] won, she told me all about her internship experience and I knew then that’s what I wanted to do.”
Omeruo was considered for the internship after a written submission titled Surviving and Studying: The True Cost of being an International Student in Canada, which profiled her experiences and sacrifices.
