IMPETUS INTERNSHIP
What is the IMPETUS Internship
The IMPETUS Internship is the culmination of years of training in the BGD STREAMS program. Participants are at a minimum an incoming freshman in college. BGD Scholars have the option to: (1) complete a gap semester at BGD and/or (2) complete a 10-week, paid summer internship at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).
My second week on the Revelle taught me just how intricate and intensive deployment operations are. The Gulf Stream current made deployments especially tricky. Getting to assist with the deployment of the 3D acoustic telescope was an experience I’ll never forget.
