Rhythm, interval, meter and scale are just some of the concepts that show the mathematical underpinnings in music. But for junior Sophia Huber, the relationship between music and numbers is more than just conceptual鈥慽t鈥檚 a career plan. And through an internship with Epic Records, Huber is well on her way to putting that plan into action.

A lifelong musician who specializes in piano, guitar, flute and singing, Huber鈥搘ho is currently working on her B.B.A. in Accounting鈥揷ompleted the internship during the summer term in 2016. The opportunity came about through the guidance of her mentors , vice president of Top 40 & Dance Promotion at Epic, and , coordinator of internships for the Robert B. Willumstad School of Business鈥檚 .

For 90 days, Huber commuted into New York City where she received one-on-one attention from her department鈥檚 chief financial officer and finance team. 鈥淚t taught me a lot of responsibility,鈥� she said. Her work would often appear before the eyes of Epic鈥檚 president and vice president of finance and her attention to detail paid off. She has been invited to return next summer and stays in touch with her former co-workers.

鈥淚 never thought I鈥檇 have the opportunity to do something like that,鈥� Huber said. 鈥淚f you told me one year ago that I鈥檇 be interning at Sony, I鈥檇 say, 鈥榊ou鈥檙e crazy.鈥欌��

But Huber鈥檚 landing at Epic Records isn鈥檛 as farfetched as she suggests. She enrolled at Adelphi to study mathematics but soon changed her major to accounting and became enveloped by campus activities and programs. While serving as the vice president for chapter operations at Delta Sigma Pi and keeping active with Accounting Society, she found time to stop by Halloran鈥檚 office to relay her interest in an internship.

鈥淓veryone is always stressed about finding internships,鈥� Huber said. 鈥淛ust walk into Neil鈥檚 office and tell him what you鈥檙e interested in, and he鈥檒l rattle off a list of companies that you can apply to. It鈥檚 so amazing that he has all that information right there at his fingertips.鈥�

With Halloran鈥檚 help, Huber perfected her r茅sum茅 and acquired many tips covering interview skills and pre- and post-interview practices. The timing couldn鈥檛 have been better.

Through her involvement with Delta Sigma Pi, Huber attended a Phi Sigma Kappa alumni panel where Dimig was a scheduled speaker. Huber explained that much of his talk was on the importance of speaking to people with confidence, so she took his advice and approached him after the event.

鈥淚 expressed my interest in music and in an internship,鈥� Huber said. Dimig took her r茅sum茅 and within a couple weeks, she was called for an interview. With Halloran鈥檚 and Dimig鈥檚 assistance, Huber walked in like a seasoned professional. 鈥淚 was hired on the spot,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 walked out of the building and actually pinched myself. I didn鈥檛 think it was real,鈥� she said.

Since the launch of the Willumstad School鈥檚 Internship and Mentorship Program in March 2014, 778 students have taken advantage of r茅sum茅 building internships in the New York metropolitan region. Of those internships, 98 percent were paid positions with the 208 participating employers. Huber counts herself as lucky to be among them.

鈥淵ou have to see every conversation as a networking event,鈥� she said. 鈥淵ou really need a good connection, and that鈥檚 what Adelphi does, connects you to people. Experience with the Internship and Mentorship Program and the involvement I鈥檝e had on campus have proven to be so beneficial. There are so many opportunities out there, you just need to know where to find them.鈥�
