Ashley Harrison of Wellington, OH, completed an internship through the Dauch College of Business and Economics at Ashland University.

Harrison interned with Harrison Ford Inc. in Wellington, OH, under the supervision of President Rodney Harrison.

Harrison's duties included advertising for the company, brainstorming ideas on print ads for newspapers & direct mail pieces and updating & maintaining social networking sites like Facebook & Twitter.

Her major projects included setting up a Google Adword account for the business, designing two print ads for newspapers and publications, and organizing a direct mail piece for the company to send out.
