We are excited to have five interns join us this year. They will be an important part of several special projects this summer. We'll feature each one here, so you can get to know them. Please welcome them to the team!

What branch and department do you work in? Do you have any specific projects?
I am working in Middlebury in the Human Resources department (if this is an official department). I have been working on surveying Yankee on Employee Engagement and working with our new job descriptions.

What do you hope to get out of your internship that you may
not get from a traditional classroom?
I hope to get hands on experience, learn from people who are
actively practicing HR and business, and responsibility for my work, without
responsibility it is hard to take ownership and be engaged with what you are
doing.
What do you hope to do after you graduate?
Graduation is coming up quickly, and I would like to travel
a little bit and work in the training area of HR. I enjoy interacting with
people and helping them be successful!
