We're Here...

Hi!

My name is Katie and I’m one of the UGA interns for this summer. I’m really excited to be here at UGA and this first “week” (all 2 days of it) have been great. We’ve gotten to meet a lot of new people and everyone seems really happy to have us here. Julia and I spent Friday shadowing Laura the student manager coordinator at Summit yesterday and had a lot of fun. I got to work the smoothie station for part of the day.

I have to admit thought that I’m a Flordia Gator. I go to the University of Florida and there’s a bit of a rivalry between the schools. I’ve lost count of the number of people who have been asking which one of us is the Gator all week. I didn’t even bring all my orange and blue Gator clothing with me to wear here.

So now it’s the first weekend here and Julia and I are hoping to get to the pool. Hopefully the clouds will go away soon and we can go work on our tans!

Hello I am Julia! I am the other intern this summer at UGA. Today is our "third" day here, I have been in Athens since Monday but we started our internship on Thursday. I have really enjoyed the internship thus far. On Thursday we did a tour of UGA campus, Kris took us all over and introduced us to the majority of the staff. On Friday we were at summit shadowing Laura, Summits student Manager. It was nice to follow a student manager and understand how they work with students their own age. Today is Saturday and as Katie said we went to the pool and enjoyed the hot weather in Athens.
I am from Pennsylvania so the weather is different than what i am use to! I will be a junior in the fall at Penn State University, I am a Hotel Restaurant Institutional Management Major. I look forward to the next 8 weeks to learn about Collegiate Food service Management!!
