Interns Kicking off Summer in Style

What did you do last Saturday? Maybe you caught up on How I Met Your Mother or just slept the day away. Maybe you thought about doing something productive, but it just seemed too tiring after a full week of work. On the other hand, maybe you were one of the interns who explored downtown Indianapolis—discovering the nooks and crannies of our hometown.

Indy Interns kicked off the summer with a downtown scavenger hunt—searching the city and meeting fellow interns from across the area. Interns represented various organizations including Aprimo, ExactTarget, Interactive Intelligence, Mayor Ballard’s Internship Program, the Mental Health Association, Roche Diagnostics, Rook Consulting, and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

Interns trekked all over downtown; they stopped by The Slippery Noodle Inn and the City Market, to the NCAA Hall of Champions and back to Scotty’s Brewhouse for a well-deserved recovery. Interns were challenged with tasks ranging from “take a picture with Kurt Vonnegut” to Sway your hips with Ann. After one and a half hours, the teams rendezvoused at Scotty’s to share their experiences, swapping stories about the hunt and their own day-to-day internship experiences.

But that’s not all! The winning team won tickets to some of the hottest summer events in Indianapolis. Shout outs to the Indianapolis Zoo, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Cha Cha Search Inc., the Indiana State Fair, Indianapolis Indians, and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for donating great prizes.

If you weren’t able to attend the kickoff event, or maybe scavenging downtown Indy wasn’t your thing, you can look forward to our next event. Indy Interns will be hosting a financial wellness workshop with Peter ‘Pete the Planner’ Dunn on Thursday, July 19, at 6:00pm. Check out his website—he’s a popular financial planner, award-winning comedian, and TV personality/radio host! This event will be held at Interactive Intelligence at Intelligence, 7601 Interactive Way Indianapolis, IN 46278. We’ll be sending out evites soon, but please feel free to bring fellow interns and friends. You won’t want to miss his great advice!
