Nancy Davis, the government relations officer for Metro Parks, visited campus today to talk with students about an internship opportunity in her office. Metro Parks is an independent governmental entity with a broad range of responsibilities, from parks and zoos and recreation programs (including a highly successful red wolf breeding program) to youth programs and community centers. It has interests in legislation at the federal and state levels, as well as with local government here in Tacoma.
She wants someone to start work next semester, and wants to give students opportunities to work in areas of interest to them that are on the Metro Parks agenda. It appears that this is an opportunity get get some real world experience and some real world responsibilities!
If you are interested, please contact Professor Sousa. You can discuss ways you might get credit toward graduation for this work.
