George Washington Carver Internship Program

"The primary idea in all of my work was to help the farmer and fill the poor man's empty dinner pail. My idea is to help the man farthest down, this is why I have made every process just as simple as I could to put it within his reach."
-George Washington Carver

Intern Insight

Devin Dutilly

“During the program I was able to spend a great deal of time one on one with my mentor developing an abstract, a final report, and an oral presentation related to food microbiology.”

Karianne Chung

“My mentor is so well-known in the field of Organismal Biology and is so knowledgeable about her research, that it’s just great that I’m learning from her. You can also tell that she loves what she does."

Zach Nelson

“One benefit to me was learning about the biological aspect about maize, and maize DNA.  Also I have learned about electrophoresis of maize.”
