Internships

Atleigh Forden ’16

My internship with PEI this summer was an extremely important step in my academic journey here at Princeton. With this position, I was able to explore a new area of my department I had never considered, and along the way I was able to jump-start my thesis research a few months early. I also learned how satisfying it is to solve problems as a team. I worked very closely with a graduate student on her project. It was very helpful to attack difficulties we were having with one aspect of the project or another with a second set of eyes. I now feel confident going into my senior year knowing where I am going to take my thesis and who I can go to for guidance through the year. This internship has also helped me confirm my plans to proceed to graduate school after graduation.
