“The opportunity to work for the MDOT under mentors who truly care about your success was an amazing aspect of the program.”
Nicholas Boss, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Placement:  Maryland State Highway Administration

"The best portions of the program are the seminars and policy papers. These aspects helped me learn better skills in time management and group participation."
Bridget Davis, College of Notre Dame
Placement: The Secretary's Office

"The policy paper is a unique aspect of the program. It teaches interns to think critically and learn how to work in teams, both important aspects and skills to master for the professional world after college."
George Fosu, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Placement: Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration

"I would highly recommend the program to any student wishing to gain experience, expand their knowledge or try something new."
Andrew Gates, University of Maryland, Eastern Shore
Placement: Maryland Aviation Administration

"The project that I worked on was the "Cruise Maryland' promotion. It was interesting because I got to research the cruise industry and make contacts with different publishers."
Sharnita Harrison, Coppin State University
Placement: Maryland Port Administration

“This internship was a wonderful learning experience and will surely aid in my future endeavors.”
Yaojie Lu, University of Maryland, College Park
Placement:  Maryland State Highway Administration

“This program throws the traditional idea of interning on its head.  I was actually told “You’re not just an intern.”  I was able to do meaningful and productive work and not just file papers and run errands.”
Greg Primrose, Towson University
Placement:  Maryland Transit Administration

“My mentor always included me in all the meetings and training classes.  He made me feel at home.  In addition, the best aspect of the program was being oriented to transportation.  This program opened another career option that I would have never considered before.”
Ashley Robertson, Bowie State University
Placement:  Maryland Transportation Authority

“The best aspect of the program was its organization and commitment to the enrichment of the interns.  From the seminars/tours to the group policy paper project, it was clear that there was an overreaching goal to enhance our general knowledge of transportation issues and MDOT.  I found this reassuring, motivating, and refreshing.”
Amanda Rosenbush, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Placement:  Maryland State Highway Administration

"One graduate program offered me a full-tuition scholarship with a research assistantship. The chairman of the admissions committee said the deciding factor for them was the fact that I worked as a fellows-intern at MDOT. The university was looking for young people who were interested in transportation issues, particularly elderly driving. It's ironic that my policy paper dealt with issues related to elderly driving."
Mark Stevens, Washington College
Placement: Secretary's Office
