Perspectives from Past Interns

Here are some quotes from past interns:

I’ve been so surprised how this internship is allowing me to grow my interpersonal skills and expand my knowledge.

I have gained immense knowledge about organic gardening techniques. I will be able to use this knowledge to give back to my community.

I have improved my communication skills and research skills while acquiring new knowledge about the field of nutrition.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity I have had to intern with TerraMesa Garden. It has had an incredibly positive impact on my life.

I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I am also learning about leadership.

Pursuing this internship has taught me quite a bit about connection, perseverance, and patience; most importantly, it has taught me that I am more than capable of learning new skills and solving intimidating problems.

I gained exposure to different research methods and acquired research experience.

This gardening opportunity was one of my favorite experiences of all of my college journey.

It was a privilege to work in such an amazing part of campus, and to be part of such an important resource for the community, and it gives me hope for a sustainable future.
