I learned a lot over my internship and was able to get a better idea of what topics I want to study more in the future. I was also able to learn a lot about geology, hydrology, and modeling from a variety of the Brown Bag talks. I am very grateful for my experience and would like to thank everyone at SSPA for their warm welcome and wealth of knowledge they gave me!”
This summer, I was immediately surrounded by some of the smartest minds in the world. Many with PHDs, Masters, awards, and years of industry and technical experience, every coffee chat, or conversation increased my knowledge and gave me a new perspective on SSPA’s several fields and many topics within computer science. I truly felt like I was constantly learning and gaining insights from those around me.”
I am very thankful for my time here at SSP&A. This company is comprised of accepting, intelligent individuals that want to see their interns prosper. I have gained an incredibly broad range of knowledge from this experience that will support me through my future endeavors.”
