Our Interns
Student involvement in grassroots-led remediation efforts is a benefit for the remediation project, the project’s sponsor, and the student. Subsequently, the WBSRC and its partners have created an internship program with local colleges and universities to capitalize on student involvement in on-the-ground remediation efforts.
To date, we’ve worked with students from Lycoming College, Mansfield University, and Penn State University to complete an array of projects.
