Sitting on the tarmac knowing this would be the last time I'd be on U.S. soil for 65 days... More than two months... No judging contest or sporting event prepared me for the nerves and knots tying up in my stomach in anticipation of what was to come of the next two months.

"When looking for interns, of course we wanted the most qualified to represent TTU. However, we really needed students with adventurous attitudes and a willingness to be open-minded to pioneer an opportunity as new and unfamiliar as this one." -Akers

Internship had never been done before.

Plenty of learning experiences while on the go. Had to go with the flow.

"Communications is the biggest issue in the meat industry, and that's why this internship was so important to establish." - Miller

TTU AND TEYS HAVE A VERY STRONG RELATIONSHIP

Mutual research projects and outreach projects are constantly being created and pursued

Internships/research opportunities have become readily available to many students

TTU/Teys' provision of any necessities

Teys' head connection traveled to U.S. to meet interns

Both groups have worked together to provide any essentials needed to interns prior to and during internships.

"These internships are not just giving students exposure in the meat industry. They are giving students a capacity building, experiential learning opportunity unlike any other." -Miller
