"This internship has been an amazing experience and one I am incredibly grateful for. From the long drives and hot days to the bruises and critters there isn’t anything I would change… maybe the spiders if I could.
The UCRA crew has my biggest thank you for the time and knowledge they have shared with me, and I would be more than happy to come back"
"I loved working with UCRA over the summer. The internship gave me a great insight into what real office and field job looks like.
It also gave me some experience in using specialized tools, editing excel documents and attending board meetings that will be invaluable in my future career"
