SPS Interns Brynn Schierenbeck and Reidyn Wingate Discuss Their Internship Experience

Brynn Schierenbeck and Reidyn Wingate share how the SPS internship program has created opportunities for their professional and personal growth.

The SPS summer internship program offers 10-week positions for undergraduate physics students in science research, education, and policy with various organizations in the Washington, DC area. All internships include paid housing, a competitive stipend, support to attend a national physics meeting in the year following the internship, and transportation to and from Washington, DC.

Students are placed in organizations that use the interns' energy and diversity to engage in meaningful assignments relevant to their host organization and promote the advancement of physics and astronomy. Participating organizations assign one or more mentors from their senior staff to guide each intern’s work and overall experience. The SPS National Office administers the program, hosts joint orientation and concluding sessions, and coordinates group activities throughout the summer.

Find out how the program’s meaningful assignments and dedicated mentors help interns advance in physics and astronomy. For more information on how to support student programs, visit https://ww2.aip.org/foundation/studen....
