The spring semester just ended, and the students are all off to enjoy a much-needed summer break. I’m very proud of the CIP students. They worked very hard this semester with their internships. A lot of our students have improved in different areas they needed to work on since the beginning of the spring semester. There has been a tremendous amount of progress.

Internship Spotlight: Brevard Community College
By Peter Snell, 3rd-year student, CIP Brevard Center
I started interning at Brevard Community College’s Melbourne Campus in 2009 and I am still working there now. I do work in the Chemistry, Microbiology, Biology, and the Anatomy and Physiology labs.

I liked cleaning the labs since it was a way for me to make them a safer and cleaner place for all. I work for Michelle Provencal, the Laboratory Coordinator for the BCC science labs, and during that first semester we set up an area for a garden.

Brevard Center Student Named “Volunteer of the Year”
By Lee Kananack, Psychologist, The Brevard Center
When we last spoke about Moultrie Woodall, a volunteer intern at the Rossetter House Museum, he told us about how much he enjoyed his position there.

He described himself as being “nearly speechless” when his name was announced at the ceremony. However, when interviewed at the Brevard Center for this article, he was more than willing to discuss his award.

Community Service at the Brevard Center
By Janet Hrezo, CIP Brevard Center
Community Service is an important part of the program at the Brevard Center. In the past, students have worked with a wide range of organizations and in many different capacities which gives each student an opportunity to meet new people, to feel more a part of the community and to make a difference in the lives of others. Recent activities have included Brevard Zoo’s “Boo at the Zoo”, “Woofstock” to benefit Greyhound Pets of America and Autism Speaks’ “Walk Now for Autism” for which Ashley Titone raised over $2000 in contributions.
