Hear from our past student-athletes.
" Participating in the Student-Athlete Micro Internship was hands down one of the best experiences of my life. Being exposed to the culture and atmosphere of the corporate world at Adobe was like no other. Opportunities like this are very hard to come by as an Athlete so I am forever grateful for this program. I can honestly say the company lives by the slogan of "Adobe For All"! I felt a sense of belonging and that no matter my background, race, or ethnicity I am able to be respected and thrive for such an amazing company! "
Dominique Graves, 2022 Adobe Student Athlete Intern
"Participating in Adobe's micro internship program has been nothing short of a blessing. Being a Business Development Representative is like being the tip of a spear. You get to initiate these different interactions with different big-name companies and getting to be the first person they see when they see a company like Adobe is a big deal. It's a really important role and it's exciting that they trust me so much with it."
