In partnership with the [University of North Florida](https://www.unf.edu/), the 20 hour per week program was created to expose accounting students to the various roles and responsibilities commonly available and in-demand within a corporate career path in the real estate industry. After 14 applicants and nine interviewees, Regency selected four interns for the job: Cory Adams, Preston Halla, Jasmin Maruca and Phinehas Livingston. ![University of North Florida students smiling in a group photo after their program completion](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/InternsFeature.jpg?width=1250&name=InternsFeature.jpg) The internship provided a well-rounded experience in which students could apply what they’ve learned in school to the various roles in accounting while getting timely feedback about their work, and developing a professional network. A typical day for the interns included a rotation of corporate accounting, external reporting, internal audit, real estate accounting and tax. ![Interns taking a group photo while celebrating their accomplishments from the program](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC02730.jpg?width=774&name=DSC02730.jpg) > ![Headshot of Phinehas J Livingstone](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Phinehas%20J%20Livingstone.jpg?width=181&name=Phinehas%20J%20Livingstone.jpg)I really enjoyed the accounting internship at Regency  Centers," said Phinehas Livingstone, Accounting Intern. "I'm so grateful I was able to apply what I learned in the classroom to real world situations. The thing I'll miss most about Regency is the people. Everyone I came in contact with was so kind, professional, and willing to teach me with patience. I truly appreciate their career advice, and the feedback I received from everyone in the program. ![Intern shaking hands while accepting a certificate for completing Regency's Accounting Internship Program](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC02742.jpg?width=3300&name=DSC02742.jpg) In addition to daily rotations, the experience also included opportunities to learn about business development, develop technical skills, take professional headshots, build [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com) profiles and attend two off-site networking events at Haskell and Stein Mart. The internship term ended with a graduation ceremony including a certificate of completion, a few kind words, and some tasty appetizers and refreshments. ![Four University of North Florida students smiling in a group photo, holding paper awards after their program completion](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC02750.jpg?width=3300&name=DSC02750.jpg) > ![Headshot of Joanne Mondares](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC02731-3.jpg?width=228&name=DSC02731-3.jpg)It was a joy to oversee the Accounting Internship Program and work with our four wonderful interns," said Joanne Mondares, Director, SEC Reporting and Policies.
