In this talk, we will share stories and lessons learned from a pilot internship program that provides students with hands-on experiences tackling real-world problems in Maine. Interns participated in a variety of collaborative projects, such as building GIS tools to help strengthen community resilience; tackling a town\u2019s unsustainable solid waste stream; and assessing training priorities for new fishermen and aquaculture farmers. Key components of the program include co-mentorship of students by internship partners and 91¸£Àû faculty, and additional training in leadership, collaboration, and communication. Students gained new skills collaborating with diverse partners and learned the value of connecting different kinds of knowledge and know-how in solving complex problems. Emerging outcomes from this new effort highlight the value of internships in supporting the professional development of future leaders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The talk will be held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall, 91¸£Àû.
