The One Where They Return to the Office: 2022 Samsung Summer Internship

On June 9, 2022, students from universities across the United States began their summer internship at Samsung Electronics America. Having worked remotely since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of my fellow interns, including myself, were excited to make new connections and head into the office for the first time.
During my first day in the office at Samsung’s North American Headquarters in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, I became acquainted with the space, introduced myself to my team and started to get a feel for what the next few weeks would bring. While I believe all work experience is inherently valuable in different ways, the assignments and meetings that I took part in throughout the past eight weeks were incredibly unique.
Members of the University Relations Team were among the first few friendly faces that I recognized when stepping foot into the office building, which made the transition much less daunting than it otherwise may have been. The team juggled all of our questions and needs with open hearts and inboxes, well before we even made it into our respective offices in early June.
