The Intern Alliance is a program connecting students participating in internships across Mote. The goal is to create a lasting peer-support network for students pursuing careers in marine science. The Alliance provides a safe space for students to openly discuss challenges while providing tools to face these challenges. In addition, students are connected with positive role models working in the field of marine science. All students involved in any of the internship programs at Mote can participate in the Intern Alliance.
Alliance events at City Island will be held in the New Pass rooms of the Keating building.
Alliance events at MAP will be held in the conference room onsite.
Alliance events at IC2R3 will be held in a designated classroom onsite.
