Hampton University News February 7, 2014 HU Student Interns at the Winter Olympics Sochi, Russia - Hampton University senior Mariah Crews is interning with NBC Universal for the Winter Olympics. "I'm doing so much more than just bringing coffee and making copies," said Crews. Crews, HU senior broadcast journalism major from Upper Marlboro, Md., has garnered so much experience during her internship, and it's only her second week. "I have met a multitude of athletes and will be working closely with Team USA," said Crews, "Meryl and Charlie [of Team USA- Ice Skating] are definitely taking home the gold." Her internship started in Venue Operations dealing with logistics under the guidance of a variety of broadcast managers for sports like speed skating, figure skating, and hockey. And now she is working with the online department, NBColympics.com. "I am working on several projects, but we are not allowed to go into detail or release pictures until after the Olympics," said Crews. Prior to this, Crews has interned at C-SPAN for the past four summers, as well as contributed as an active member of the National Association of Black Journalists, Golden Key National Honors Society, the Student Leadership Program at HU, and Gamma Iota chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. "The wealth of knowledge I have gained from my professors at HU has definitely prepared me for this incredible opportunity," said Crews. SANDRA M.
