“First, student Mark Codling was a terrific intern for the coastal resilience startup project. His work in emergency management in the Cayman Islands was a great environment to work on solutions related to social intelligence. With a focus on roads, it was a perfect new opportunity to apply these principles to Cayman’s coastal communities. We expect this work to positively impact the warning and decision-making systems they use to inform citizens of road hazards and impediments. Mark has already submitted papers for publication, and others are in the works that will incorporate what we have worked on over the past few months.” Researcher Austin Perry, University of Miami

“The organization which I was placed with truly provided me some amazing experiences. On a personal level, I was able to connect with many refugees who are currently going through similar experiences that my family went through when they fled Guatemala many years ago, which allowed me to understand better the experiences of current Central American refugees. Professionally speaking, I was able to discover what my likes and dislikes are in the field of humanitarian assistance, allowing me to realize I would like to continue working with Central American refugees and immigrants." - Stephanie MV, summer 2018 intern (Casa Refugiado)

“First, student Mark Codling was a terrific intern for the coastal resilience startup project. His work in emergency management in the Cayman Islands was a great environment to work on solutions related to social intelligence. With a focus on roads, it was a perfect new opportunity to apply these principles to Cayman’s coastal communities. We expect this work to positively impact the warning and decision-making systems they use to inform citizens of road hazards and impediments. Mark has already submitted papers for publication, and others are in the works that will incorporate what we have worked on over the past few months.” Researcher Austin Perry, University of Miami

“Highlights: nature, animals, great friendships made, familial atmosphere, great sense of humour, getting to participate in such a wide variety of activities/ projects Personal highlights: let go of a lot of limitations, more confidence and trust in myself, no longer procrastinate, overthink, or hesitate as much as I used to before.

Litter on our beaches is a global concern for conservationists. To effectively manage the problem on the ground, we need to understand not only the various sources of the litter on our beaches, but also the user groups that are contributing disproportionately more waste than others. Once this has been accomplished, a well-designed conservation intervention campaign can be implemented to try to reduce the amount of local litter being left on our beaches. This internship involves lots of hours walking on one of the most amazing set of beaches in the world! Three times a week, from 7am-11am and from 2pm to 6pm, the intern will walk on the beach, documenting all litter encountered and all people using the beach. Using this and other existing data, the intern will help develop a campaign targeting beach users, to educate them and attempt to ensure better litter management on the beach.

It made me more aware of my abilities as I had to take initiative to do a lot of things on my own." - Christina H, summer 2018 intern
