By Kyle Howard {Marketing and Communications Intern}

Before I started my internship at Greater Lafayette Commerce on May 13, I hadn’t realized the impact of the organization or the importance of the events they coordinated. I attended three events during my first week, all important, yet unique from one another. The three events I went to were Quarterly Development Series, the one-year anniversary of Trish’s Red Bird Café and Career Signing Day. By attending these events, I gained insight into the importance of them, and my perspective transformed as a result.
