UM STUDENTS FROM GREAT FALLS INTERN IN THE WORK PLACE

MISSOULA—

Two University of Montana students from Great Falls were among 30 UM students from around the state and nation who spent time this summer putting their academics to the test as part of the internship program offered by Work-based Learning.

Mark Murray, a graduate student in accounting, interned with the Montana Food Bank

Network in Missoula, preparing financial statements and handling payables and receivables.

Murray graduated from Great Falls High School in 1994. His mother is Mary Beth Bergman.

J.M. Ryerson, a senior in communication studies and psychology, was a news and sports intern with KFBB-TV in Great Falls. He helped the news and sports anchors with daily assignments and wrote stories of his own for broadcast. Ryerson is a 1996 graduate of C. M.

Russell High School. His parents are Doug and Lynn Ryerson.

Work-based Learning’s internship program serves about 1,800 students a year, placing

400 to 500 of them as interns throughout Montana and the nation in more than 35 fields of employment. For information, visit the Web site at http://www.umt.edu/coop_intern/wbl/. m
