Summer Internships

Kayla Cayemitte ’23, Biology major, interned with the nonprofit, Common Tides. Common Tides is based in the US Virgin Islands. Kayla tells us, “I developed a marine science curriculum throughout 6 weeks with the help of my supervisor.

Over 4 days, I taught an age range from 3-13 in different groups and got back amazing results!

Neva McGowan ’22, History major, interned in North Dakota creating a digital historical archive for the Nokota Horse Conservancy. Neva tell us, “My time in North Dakota was AMAZING.

I was able to gain experience as a historian while participating in once in a lifetime opportunities!”

Holly Chambers ’23, Health and Exercise Physiology major, interned with

The Physical Therapy and Wellness Institute, where I familiarize myself with physical therapy exercises as they target certain conditions such as joint replacements, injuries, generalized pain, balance difficulty, and more!

I have also been able to learn from the physical therapists and support staff about their experiences in the field of PT!

Aaron Edwards ’22, Environmental Studies major, worked as a summer intern with a virtual campaign called Change the Chamber, who seeks to make the Chamber of Commerce and corporations associated with the Chamber more sustainable. We also meet with the senators of other states to discuss about Climate Change and how we can combat it. My job is to research companies lobbying and donating to the Chamber of Commerce.

Jessica Rogers ’23, Biology and Neuroscience double major, interned with Skippack Pharmacy, where she gets to see and experience how an independent pharmacy operates, especially during a global pandemic! She tells us “It is amazing to see how Dr. Mak and the COVID task force go above and beyond to help our community during this time of need. It is incredibly rewarding to work alongside the awesome people I met here and it is an experience that I will certainly never forget. I learn something new every day at this job and I can’t wait to continue!”
