Stephens completes internship with Bayer Crop Science

Nov. 21, 2019

Linnea Stephens, of Columbus Grove, recently completed an internship with Bayer Crop Science in Bel Air, Maryland.

During her internship, Stephens used her communication skills through videography and graphic design as she captured testimonials for specific products. She also facilitated the promotion of chemicals, seed traits, and technology to growers throughout her sales territory.

“Our students use their internship experiences to hone their communications skills, network with potential employers, and develop confidence in their abilities,” said Dr. Annie Specht, program manager and associate professor for agricultural communication. “These internships are more than just line items on a resume – they are opportunities for students to prepare themselves for the next phase of their professional lives.”

Stephens returned to Columbus in August, where she is completing a degree in agricultural communication at The Ohio State University.

The agricultural communication major at Ohio State prepares students to plan, develop, and implement a communication campaign, using visual media, writing and editing. Students study crisis communication, graphic design, marketing, and journalism so they can spread the word about agriculture.
