A Heartfelt Thanks for the Success of our Student Internship Program

To our host partners, spanning both the public and private sectors, we extend our deepest gratitude.

Thank you to the dedicated team of Coordinators and support staff that maintained the daily operation of our internship program.

We acknowledge the tireless efforts of our Human Resources staff. Thank you.

And to the stars of our Internship Program - the students. The energy, curiosity, and dedication you have demonstrated throughout this journey have been a driving force behind the program's success.

Business Partners Reflect on the Internship Program

We are proud to share the thoughts and experiences of our business partners who have contributed immensely to our Internship Program. Read firsthand how they have observed our interns flourish, and the lasting impact it has had on their businesses.

"On behalf of all of the managers and staff at Heritage House, we sincerely thank you for assigning Interns for the Summer of 2023. This is our third year with the DAC interns. This year’s interns were best ever, well prepared, and the coordination seems to get better every year!

Our elderly residents lit up with joy when an intern painted their nails or worked a puzzle or other activity with them.  The added attention was well received by our residents and we remain forever grateful to the Coordinators at Dona Ana County who were at all times organized, professional and helpful.

With gratitude…"
