Edison State celebrates students with area internships

PIQUA — Edison State Community College recognized some of its students with internships at area businesses for National Intern Day, which was last week.

Recent interns include:

Dalton Hesson completed an internship at Greenville National Bank in Greenville, serving as a loan originator. In the release he said, “My internship helped me reach my career goals as I plan to be a lender for much of my career.”

Hesson also shared that the internship taught him time management skills.

“Learning on the job is the most important aspect of an education,” he said of the entire internship experience. Hesson completed the banking program at Edison State, receiving his Associate of Applied Business.

Ashley Mullenhour, a student in the general business–human resources program at Edison State, completed her internship in human resources at American Trim in Sidney. Mullenhour managed the applicant selection process by reviewing applications, completing phone screenings, and performing background and reference checks. She also assisted with the onboarding process and prepared orientation packets.

Mullenhour said in the release, “This experience gave me a comprehensive view of the human resources career field.”

Jack Quinlisk, a recent mechanical engineering technology graduate, completed his on-the-job internship at Peerless Food Equipment in Sidney.

Quinlisk said in the release, “Part of my duties as Controls Engineer Intern was using CAD software to make and update electrical drawings for the food equipment we produce. Alongside the drawings, I also created and updated bills of materials (BOMs) to get the necessary electrical parts ordered and helped program the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) on food equipment.”

Quinlisk is continuing his studies and working at Peerless part-time.
