Of course! Most internship programs help develop teamwork, leadership skills, and networking contacts.
Brittney Miller first entered the SCEC program during the summer of 2008. She was the team leader for the Digital Library group which worked alongside the USC Libraries to create metadata for SCEC documents. Brittney was interested in gaining experience in various fields of study and learning more about her Southern California roots, and SCEC provided an excellent opportunity to not only become more educated about earthquakes, but to spread awareness about earthquake preparedness in the community. She has since graduated from USC with a B.S. in Mathematics and Physics and is pursuing a Ph.D. in Mathematics at Purdue University where she is a teaching assistant.
