Internship Location: Madison WI
Organization Type: Nonprofit
Policy Areas: Education
My internship with the Information Technology (ITA) was focused on supporting and increasing the quality of all external communications for the program. ITA is a pre-college program for high school students in Madison, Oneida and Lac du Flambeau. I was able to use my skills from La Follette to zoom out of this program to gain perspective on how ITA operates within the greater context of the university and how policies have effected the groups that we are serving. The most valuable part of this internship was connecting with the students and learning more about how their environment impacts their educational success.
