As the director of human resources at The Horton Group, one of the largest privately held insurance brokers in the nation, Katie Cummins joined more than 50 other employers at this year’s IWU Internship Fair.  Katie, who was an intern herself less than a decade ago, brings a unique perspective. As a student, Cummins took the advice of then-internship coordinator Ann Harding (now director of alumni relations), who suggested that she apply for an HR internship at Bloomington-based Afni.  Now Cummins directs HR functions for Horton’s 300 employees.
