So, I'm transferring into a co-op program in mathematics this fall, and I am scheduled to have my first co-op this spring and summer! I'm very excited at the prospect of actually getting to do some work that is mathematically related, and I've already started my search process.

If anyone has any advice on where to look or if you are looking for a sassy math intern, let me know. I'm a driven student, and I'm interested in anything and everything. I am not sure I could be any more intellectually curious than I already am.
