EAST HANOVER — East Hanover resident Dominique Mercadante began a summer internship at SCG Advertising + Public Relations, a Whippany-based, full-service PR and advertising agency. Mercadante is a junior at Seton Hall University pursuing her bachelor’s degree in communication with a minor in journalism.
The Hanover Park High School graduate is focused on projects that enhance her writing and research skills, including drafting news releases, expanding databases, and creating social media content.
“Interning at SCG provides me with tools to connect what I’m learning in class with real-world situations,” says Mercadante, a Dean’s List student who writes for The Setonian. “Essentially, it’s enhancing my education.”
In the past two decades, more than 200 college students from more than 50 universities and colleges have participated in SCG’s public relations internship program. These students have earned significant professional experience and, in many cases, college credit as well.
