Miles Barton
Miles Barton, GVPT ‘24
Intern, NVG LLC
"The associates and partners at NVG are so accessible and kind. We have a team breakfast every Wednesday, where the team shares what they're working on and we talk about all federal government happenings. When you become an intern, work hard, have a positive attitude, and always "show up" in the ways you can. People will notice!"

Summer Research Intern, Plant Five for Life

"Doing an internship is one way to see a potential career first-hand. During your internship, make sure to regularly check in with yourself about if you are enjoying the work and if you could see yourself doing this work as your career. Whatever the answer is, it will give your job search some direction!"
