Not only was I connected with a paid internship through the Summer Sustainability Internship course, but I was supported throughout the entire process. Faculty at L&C want to help students grow and succeed, and that is where I have felt most supported.

The Summer Sustainability Internship course has not only taught me a lot about social media management, digital design, and workplace communication, but has also helped me on my academic journey as a religious studies major and double minor in Middle East and North African (MENA) studies and ethnic studies.

I was shown one of the many ways I can work with people and the outdoors thanks to the Summer Sustainability Internship course. For my future career, I hope to engage people with the natural world in their own community.
