USU industrial hygiene students are required to participate in an internship. Usually in the summer between their Jr. and Sr. year, the internship provides a great work experience, professional networking, leads to future jobs, and (usually) a good salary. Besides, students say it’s a lot of fun!

Here are some photos of some recent USU students “on the job” at various internship locations throughout the west:
