Employer Testimonials

Past sponsors of the program value the work that an intern can provide, but more importantly, enjoy mentoring and contributing to their professional growth!

"I enjoy having their youthful perspectives, new ideas and positive energy! I love passing on my pearls of wisdom and contributing to my intern's professional growth. They listen to me more than my own kids do!"

"I just wanted you to know that I had a staff of one, Bonnie, to help me run a conference this week and she was fantastic. I asked Bonnie to show up early so the meeting could have an 8 a.m. start time. She also ran the computer for meeting materials for the full two days and was great. I know she was absent from a Tuesday intern meeting, but she was really needed and much appreciated."

"The interns provided design validation by performing extensive testing of the wireless LAN before the field season. They provided system and network administration in conjunction with NASA engineers for the Operational Readiness Test and the MDRS Field Simulations. They initiated new capability in PDA-based wireless LAN monitoring and configuration that significantly extended our real-time monitoring and recovery capability. Without their help, we could not have accomplished our ambitious goals!"
