Environmental Defense Fund; Boston, MA

Primary job responsibilities;
Research environmental issues related to transportation and freight movement. Connect with corporations for collaboration. Present best practices in shipping freight.

I would rate this experience as excellent and I would reccomend this site to other students.

What I would have changed;
I might have extended the length of the internship. By the end of the 10 week duration, I had work that I would like to have continued contributing to.

To future students I would advise that you should check with advisors and faculty members for advice about job placement. They probably have knowledge of the oppurtunities out there that you might have missed.
