New for 2027: Season-Long Internship Opportunity
Banana Ball has announced an exciting new format for its internship program beginning in 2027. Rather than offering separate Spring, Summer, and Fall internship sessions, the program will now operate as a single season-long experience spanning the full 2027 World Tour, from January through October.
Selected interns will have the opportunity to contribute throughout the entire season, gaining sustained, hands-on experience while helping create unforgettable experiences for fans. This expanded format allows interns to see projects through from planning to execution, build stronger professional relationships, and develop their skills over an extended period.
Students interested in an immersive, high-impact internship experience are encouraged to learn more and apply.
The full season internship application is live now, and there is a waiting list to be informed of ongoing openings in areas like Video Production, Event Management, Communication & Media, Project Management, and more.
Details, applications, and more available at the Banana Ball website.

Monarch Humanities Internship Academy
The Monarch Humanities Internship Academy (MHIA) offers humanities students the opportunity to connect their skills, talents, and knowledge as humanists to meaningful work-based learning experiences (WBLE).
Internships help students bridge classroom learning with practical work activities, network with industry professionals, gain professional development skills, and enter meaningful careers after graduation. The Mellon Foundation stipends provided by MHIA also contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives by offsetting financial barriers and ensuring that all students have equal access to valuable internship experiences.
Learn more about your eligibility, internship award requirements, and support available from MHIA by checking their website or emailing internship@odu.edu
