Network Interns Volunteer Support After Katrina

Abstract

The effectiveness of college internships often vary dramatically. Sometimes an internship can provide excellent work experiences but on other occasions work may be less than satisfactory. When an internship comes along that provides an excellent opportunity for learning, leadership, and contributions to society, it is quite rewarding to all involved. Just such an internship was provided soon after Hurricane Katrina struck the Mississippi gulf coast on August 29, 2005.
