2017 Aug 28

Emily Lampe of Diamond, Ohio (44412), was one of eight Youngstown State University business students honored at a special ceremony at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus for their participation in the 2017 Ohio Export Internship Program. Lampe, a Mineral Ridge High School graduate, is a International Business major.

"We are very proud of our Ohio Export Interns and our partnership with the Ohio Development Services Agency and The Ohio State University," said Betty Jo Licata, dean of the Williamson College of Business Administration. "This is a unique opportunity for our YSU students and we are committed to expanding this internship program and the many ways in which we support the economic development of our state."

The Ohio Export Internship Program created by the Ohio Development Services Agency and offered at Youngstown State University and The Ohio State University provides a unique opportunity for businesses interested in exporting. Companies are matched with highly-motivated college students who have taken export-focused coursework. In the five years of the program, 144 student-company matches were created, resulting in more than $26 million in expected global sales and 25 full-time job offers to students.
