"I’m a 3L at the University of Oklahoma College of Law. My favorite moment was Picture Day for Girls and Women in Sports Day. The Thunder is already an amazing organization, but seeing the women that make it possible all on the Court was a wonderful experience. It truly demonstrated just how much the organization cares about inclusion in all facets. Aside from Picture Day, it has been a great day every time I come into the office. I’m always greeted with happy faces that are truly joyous to have you around. I couldn’t ask for anything better. The best advice I could give a future intern: apply because you couldn’t ask for a better team to gain valuable experience from!"

"I attended the University of Central Oklahoma earning a BFA in Graphic Design. I had the privilege of working with the Oklahoma City Thunder creative team during the 2021-22 NBA season first as a graphic design associate and later as a graphic design intern. I appreciate that my supervisor allowed me to learn supporting creative disciplines outside of graphic design, such as photography. I was able to photograph during an NBA G-League OKC Blue game and added some quality photos to my portfolio while increasing my skill as a photographer. I found that being a well-rounded creative requires me to challenge myself in multiple creative disciplines. I highly recommend looking to intern with the Oklahoma City Thunder."
—Jerod, Graphic Design
"I’m a student at the University of Central Oklahoma, studying Human Resource Management. During my internship with the People & Culture department, I’ve been able to learn something new every day and I look forward to coming in to the office. I learn and appreciate how well the teams here work together with cross-functional collaboration. My favorite moment so far was my participation in the Lunar New Year 3 Point Breakfast. I was able to share a piece of my culture and we got to support the Asian District and locally owned businesses. If I had one piece of advice for future interns it would be: don’t be afraid to network and ask for help."
–Dory, People & Culture
