Adam Gesmer is a sophomore majoring in economics with a minor in statistics at the University of Illinois. Adam was referred to the ATLAS Internship Program through the monthly emails sent to students from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Adam is working for the local non-profit, Feeding Our Kids, as a Marketing Intern, with a focus on fundraising. His tasks are oriented around planning a "thank you event" for the organization's donors and volunteers and capturing photos and video content at bi-weekly "food sorts." Currently, Adam is designing a Google Form for use by local schools, which will allow these institutions to inform Feeding Our Kids how many packages of food will need to be provided to them. Additionally, he is analyzing and reorganizing Feeding Our Kids' inventory sheets and designing a Spotlight page for the aforementioned sponsors. Through his time with ATLAS, Adam has refined his professional communication and time management skills, which allows him to balance his studies and internship work. Finally, a fun fact about Adam: his favorite movies would have to be The Dark Knight, Pulp Fiction, and Step Brothers!
