That's a wrap on our 2026 Summer Intern Programming Series! 🎉

Last Thursday, we concluded this year's program with our final session, Life Beyond the Job, where interns heard from local professionals about building a fulfilling career while enjoying everything Southern Indiana has to offer, including community involvement, work-life balance, housing, recreation, and quality of life.

To celebrate the conclusion of the series, interns received certificates of completion recognizing their participation throughout the summer and wrapped up the afternoon with a doubles ping pong tournament, bringing some friendly competition to the final session!

Thank you to all of our speakers, partners, and interns for making this year's series a success. We wish all of our interns the very best as they continue their academic and professional journeys!
