Cybersecurity Internship
Introduction
My academic pursuit of cybersecurity led me to make the smart decision to start an
internship at the ODU ITS Help Desk. Understanding how important it is to have real-world
experience in this profession, I looked for a way to put my academic knowledge to use. As the
first point of contact for academics, staff, and students in need of technology support, the ITS
Help Desk offered a vibrant setting in which to make a significant contribution to the university’s
technological infrastructure. I also thought I was a good fit for the job because I am a
cybersecurity student with a minor in IT and cybercrime. I saw this internship as an opportunity
to expand my skill set and obtain practical experience that will be useful for my future career.
