Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Science-Summer research intern

What I liked
This internship offered me a wide range of laboratory experience. From collecting field data to performing protocols in the lab, I learned so much pertaining to the research side of the animal, dairy, and veterinary science field!

At times, there was lack of communication between faculty and staff. With an increase of communication between the team members this program would be greatly improved. But overall my experience was amazing!
Advice
It is okay to not feel confident in yourself when experiencing a learning curve. Never give up, even when you feel inadequate. You have all the potential in the world when you believe in yourself!

May 2019 • Logan, UT
What I liked
I learned more about my field than I ever could in the classroom and it even helped me in my classes by allowing me to apply what I learned.
What I wish was different
There were a few late nights but that was because I was working another full time job and at the beginning I also had another part time job.
Advice
If you’re interested in research try it NOW. I know some people who tried it and realized that’s not what hey want to spend their life doing. I personally love it so much. Either way you’re going to learn something about yourself.
