Testimonials

"I loved being able to interact with patients and to start to understand all that goes into practicing primary care medicine. I definitely do not have a romanticized understanding of what the profession entails, but I am fascinated by it nonetheless. This internship has definitely made me question some of the greater, structural causes of poor health and how patients can be treated as complex individuals instead of symptoms of a disease."
Anne, Biology, Fall 2011 intern at Denver Health

"Before taking on this internship, I had an interest in social work but I did not fully understand all that social work entailed. For my internship I was able to work first-hand with a case manager and see what a day in her life was all about. While participating in this internship I saw a lot of real life examples of what I had been learning about in my sociology classes, particularly my social inequality class."
Lucy, Sociology, Summer 2011 intern at St. Vincent de Paul's Catherine's Center

"My ultimate goal is to get a degree in archaeology, so by being an intern at a museum, this greatly helped my understanding of museum studies and history from an archaeological standpoint. The Castle Rock Museum was a great environment to learn about the history of the area specifically and gain skills that could be very helpful to me in the future."
Ashley, History, Summer 2011 intern at Castle Rock Museum

Greg Greenhalge, Mathew Shepard Foundation: "We were so thrilled to have Brian as an intern this year and hope that we can continue that relationship with you folks in the future. I have to tell you, one of the greatest pleasures of this job is to witness the outpouring of love, support, and dedication that people like Brian give to the Foundation, and I want you to know that our entire organization is deeply touched by your altruism. It is with the continued support of people like you that we can deliver our message of “replacing hate with understanding, compassion and acceptance.”

Patty Meagher, The Empowerment Program: "Karin has demonstrated outstanding skills that have gone beyond the GED room. She has extended her talents to working in the Job Readiness Lab every Thursday afternoon helping the women with their resumes and job searches on the computer. She has proved herself invaluable there as well and will be greatly missed by our agency."

Ralph Longobardi, CO Dept. of Labor: "I have taught at the University of Colorado's grad school as an adjunct for 12 years. I teach policy analysis and my job is to evaluate young people's potential. Kaleb has really stood out here and done excellent work and a significant amount of it. He would earn an A in my class. Kaleb has really been a positive addition to our department this summer. He came prepared and worked hard and shows great promise as a future economist and analyst. We would welcome him back in the future if the opportunity arose."
