I was drawn to the Field School program at the Upstate Institute this summer because of the unique opportunity it offers to blend the workplace environment and research. Initially, I was unsure whether I wanted to have an internship in a corporate office, or if I wanted to complete on-campus research. The Field School is a wonderful compromise. Additionally, I am very drawn to the Upstate New York region; there are so many fantastic not-for-profit initiatives occurring in this area, especially during the gorgeous summer months.
