AI & Media Innovation Student Intern in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania at Harrisburg University

The School of Applied Media and Innovation at Harrisburg University is seeking two to four student interns for a hands-on, hybrid role spanning artificial intelligence and media production. Unlike traditional internships with a single narrow focus, this position is intentionally cross-disciplinary: interns will contribute to AI tool development, produce digital and social media content, work on video projects, and participate in collaborative project brainstorming and planning alongside School leadership.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of emerging technology and creative media in a professional, deliverable-driven environment. Interns will gain applied experience with enterprise AI platforms, build a portfolio of real-world media work, and develop skills directly relevant to careers in technology, communications, instructional design, and digital media.

Open to all HU students in good academic standing. No single major is preferred — curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to work across disciplines matter most.
