Hannah Kotler '20
TV Guide Magazine, New York City
2019 Summer Experience Fund award winner Hannah Kotler '20, an English major, used her award to pursue her interests in magazine journalism. Hannah spent last summer interning with TV Guide Magazine in New York City, writing for the company website, conducting interviews with a range of actors, conducting extensive research for writers, and much more. Said Hannah of her award: "My time at TV Guide was so rewarding and unlike anything I’ve got to do before, and it’s something that would not have been possible without funding from Skidmore. Rumors are true: New York City isn’t cheap, so this funding has been essential to, well, the essentials: food, subway fare, and the like."
