American University School of Communication

Meet Gabi Lefkowitz, a PR major and Graphic Design minor (SOC/BA '26), who is spending the summer interning at Cashman and Associates, one of Philadelphia's top PR firms. In her special events role, she was able to be a part of events celebrating America's 250th, from Citizens Bank Park to Independence Mall. She has learned how to communicate with all different clients and help their event needs be met. Her advice for fellow interns: “Stay hard-working, curious, and excitable, and you will go far!” ✨

"Because whether you're black, white or Hispanic, We the People too. Whether you’re gay, straight, or q***r, We the People too. Whether you’re male, female, anything in between, or everything outside, We the People too." https://bit.ly/4ydsE51
