Hello there in Minny! Let's be honest, this last year has been a challenge for so many people - especially Minneapolis. Thank you for always leaning in and taking care of not just your residents, but your team as well. We're in this together, and you've continued to demonstrate close adherence to the Cardinal culture.

Love hearing that your experience with Cardinal was a positive one. As a part-time TM, it can be tough to become fully immersed in what we do here, but regardless, this industry exposes you to so much; from sales to marketing, to facilities, to business. We wish you the absolute best in all you do moving forward.

Working part-time as an intern definitely has the potential to feel as though you are disconnected from the larger organization, I can completely empathize with that. As an intern early in my career, I often felt as though the temporary nature of my role was relatively insignificant when in reality, you as a student/resident TM are truly the most valuable member of the team. Let's be honest, in the context of student housing, you are literally our client. I'm hoping that if you choose to return to Cardinal or seek full-time work with us here, you'll see that through our summer development programs, Intern career fairs, and career mapping sessions, we're serious about laying out the potential for a career in this industry. Until then, best of luck in all you do.
