I am glad I choose this intership
October 05, 2020by: Marija Nikolovska - BrazilProgram: Marine Research (Marine Studies) InternshipThey gave me a nice choice of job duties doing event planning, working in their herb garden, and assisting in stream conservation. Any time the lab needed help, I would also help there with things like sediment samples and coral disease research. This internship put me in the field and let me see how other researches do their jobs. It was a really good experience, and I am glad I got the opportunity to do it. I am really glad I chose this internship.
They were super helpful
May 25, 2020by: Lauren JProgram: Marine Research (Marine Studies) InternshipIt was neat working with a nearly all-female staff of professionals. They gave me a nice choice of job duties doing event planning, working in their herb garden, and assisting in stream conservation. I really appreciated their mission of helping to educate the community and to conserve the fragile freshwater ecosystems in the mountains above Auckland. They were super helpful and I am really glad I chose this internship.
I am glad I got the opportunity to do it
May 23, 2020by: Ben StevensProgram: Marine Research (Marine Studies) InternshipI took this internship for me. I didn’t take it for hours or credits. Even though, I did get some animal husbandry hours that counted toward my degree, I really just wanted to see what the field was like, and I really got that from this internship. The Institute found a house to rent for me. My flight and transportation were a smooth, easy process. It all worked very well. In my job, I gave a lot of tours. I helped maintain the touch tables in the education department. Any time the lab needed help, I would also help there with things like sediment samples and coral disease research. My favorite day including snorkeling to collect samples of an invasive species of seaweed. This internship put me in the field and let me see how other researches do their jobs. It was a really good experience, and I am glad I got the opportunity to do it.
