Each intern is provided an opportunity to have an expanded learning experience working in the United States. But even more than what they learn from us, we learn from them, not only technically, but culturally. - Karen Pavlinski, Human Resources Manager, Lynntech, Inc. This letter is to express my professional satisfaction with the activities of [our intern]... [She] was exceptionally diligent and careful in her research. Her productivity, with respect to quality as well as quantity, was also outstanding... Based on her performance this summer, I would not hesitate to offer her a position in my graduate research program. - James H.
