Heading Into Internship

In this episode, Sophia and Marcus chat with interns Lauren Guilds and Michael Donato to get an idea of what they can expect when they become interns in the fall. They learn about the most rewarding and most challenging parts of the internship, how to balance work and life, and how to make the most out of their experience. Stay tuned (01:02:30) to hear a brief history of how discriminatory housing policies and the highway system have led to negative outcomes for marginalized communities and how there may be hope in the near future.
