Cornell Cooperative Extension provided 29 students with summer internship opportunities across New York state, ranging from creating a commercial guide for growing pawpaw fruits to helping the impact of the spotted lanternfly in the Hudson Valley.
The CCE Summer Internship Program started in 2007 with five projects. Spanning the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Human Ecology, the program now partners with the Einhorn Center to include internships that are open to students across the university.
