Water Quality Intern
My experience
Overview
All the interns do are complete daily lab tasks, and also have the opportunity to shadow other departments. Additionally, Interns are require to complete a personal project
It is a very basic internship that gives good experience. I do think it would be good if a candidate has taken, orgo 1, synthesis lab (orgo lab), ecology, and ecology lab. Any additional experience in marine ecology would be good but not required. If you get accepted, SHADOW! It’s fun to learn about how the entire aquarium works together to care for animals
Would recommend it to people who...
Want animal husbandry experience, want basic lab experience in the ecology field
Would NOT recommend it to people who...
Want chemistry lab experience (very basic chem)

Advice on how to prepare
Prepare for some basic questions, but be able to defend why you want the job. Also, write a cover letter. Interns help pick candidates for interviews of the next intern, and there are a lot of resumes that get submitted that look the same. Cover letters really help candidates stick out of the pile.
