Student Feedback
Best Liked: Talking with the many different people the Foundation is involved with; the families, volunteers, and general clients who have all been touched by the work the Foundation does was the most rewarding part for me. Working with everyone in the office was also another favorite part of mine. I recommend any student try and internship because of the knowledge and experience you gain.
Least Liked: The last month of the internship when I had nothing to do but little jobs—busy work mostly.
