Advice from Past Interns

"Exercise your problem solving! It’s incredibly important in all fields to look at problems from all angles and determine the best course of action. You won’t always be able to ask a superior to help, and as long as you’re trying your best, a good outcome will prevail." (Intern, 2023)

"Take the risk of doing an internship even if you're nervous. It's a great way to find something to do with your time while also helping someone else. Communicate your skills with your mentor and be willing to learn new skills." (Intern, 2023)
