How did your interns make a positive contribution?
Lucy has been a great asset to the Exeter Phoenix team. She has held a pivotal role, coordinating one of our key community festivals – liaising with internal colleagues on a range of logistical issues and being the main link with a high number of external partners. In all of this she has conducted herself with the utmost professionalism, and brought a really positive attitude and mindset. The resulting festival was a great success, well attended and attracting really positive feedback from collaborators and visitors alike.
Summary of your experience:
Participation in A2i has been a hugely positive experience. We were guided every step of the way by the fantastic internships team, and our fantastic intern has done an incredible job delivering a project that simply wouldn’t have bene possible without their support. Thank you!
