Investing in Internships

Math major Peter “Bear” St. Michael came to the College all the way from Maui, drawn, he says, by the opportunity to live and learn in the University’s urban environment. He has loved his math courses, but what has taught him the most is his work at Penn’s Netter Center for Community Partnerships, where he is the Gershwind Family Foundation and Bennett Family Foundation Student Intern. At the center, he has had the chance to mentor West Philadelphia high school students, analyze their classroom space, and lead them in a campus beautification project based on research he helped them conduct, among other exciting opportunities.
