Pepperdine Grad Lands Television Academy Foundation Internship

2019 Pepperdine University graduate Sarah Arthur has been selected to participate in the Television Academy Foundation’s 2019 Internship Program.

Arthur, who majored in Film Studies, will be interning this summer in the Movies for Television production department at LIFETIME Television in Los Angeles, CA.

The Television Academy Foundation’s annual Internship Program provides 50 paid internships, at top Hollywood studios and production companies, to college students nationwide. The prestigious program gives both undergraduate and graduate students in-depth and hands-on professional experience in a variety of television careers during the eight-week internship.

“I have always been intrigued by the transformative nature of storytelling, and this is ultimately what inspired me to seek a career in television,” said Arthur. “I have been fortunate enough to have had a unique mixture of travel experiences. Through travels to my parents’ birth country of Ghana, West Africa, to studying abroad in Lausanne, Switzerland for a year, to producing a short film in Sydney, Australia, I have gained a unique international perspective. By engaging with people from different cultural backgrounds, I have realized the importance of creating content that transcends borders.”
