After spending the Spring 2024 semester in Strasbourg, France, Aulestia decided to extend her time abroad and spend the summer interning in the same location. During her summer session, she interned for ARTE, the Franco-German broadcast station in Strasbourg, just a six-minute walk away from the Syracuse center.

“It was amazing to see how ARTE manages bilingual content in France but also how it caters to the rest of the neighboring counties. ARTE is a popular channel for Europe with coverage in several languages aside from French and German,” Aulestia says.

As a broadcast and digital journalism major, this internship was a valuable experience contributing to both her personal and professional growth. Her internship responsibilities included working on reports, conducting research for their social media platforms and helping to plan future projects. “I learned so much about myself while abroad and I will always be thankful for the experience,” Aulestia says.

Jacob Grindstaff-Espinal ’24 grew up in Miami speaking English and Spanish. Despite his bilingual childhood, he never imagined he would one day take a French history class—or a class taught in the French language—while studying abroad in Strasbourg, France.

“Strasbourg is a diplomatic city and the perfect place for an internship,” Grindstaff-Espinal says. “I dream of going into government consulting or international development. My internship with the Council of Europe helped me figure out if this is the right career for me.”
