“Being a part of the internship program at Rockland has been an amazing opportunity. I’ve had the chance to gain real-world experience. Students don’t always get many opportunities to do lab work in a school setting. From the first week I started, I was in a lab coat, gloves on, and getting right into performing actual experiments, with the assistance of knowledgeable and skilled teammates. My team treated me with the greatest respect and made me feel like a professional scientist from day one.“

“My internship at Rockland provided me with great hands-on experience in the lab. I had the opportunity to work alongside experienced scientists who helped me learn a lot in just the few months that I was here. They were always kind and eager to teach me new information and skills, providing me with the ability to work on my own projects by the end of my internship. This has been a very valuable experience that will certainly aid me as I return to college and further my career.“
