JANESVILLE e x p e r i e n c e t h e p o w e r o f c o m m u n i t y Forward Janesville and ARISE Now were pleased to partner with the Rock Internship Program for its second year, welcoming Abbie Campion, a Senior at Milton High School, as a six-week summer intern. Abbie’s academic focus is sports and event management along with community development. The purpose of the Rock Internship Program is to accelerate personal/professional development, skill set development, and career-related exposure. Abbie was able to work hands-on with the Gran Prix Bike Race, Music at the Marv, Business After Five, and the FJI Golf Outing events, while attending many meetings and tackling in-house projects. Abbie has been a great asset to the FJI staff this summer and we wish her nothing but the best in her continued education and career path!
