I really liked how the Consortium was flexible in what they allowed us to work on. We all go to do some research, but on top of that, we also got to help out in other areas such as communications, social media, and working with database.
What I wish was different
I wish I had the ability to be in person and I suggest all future interns who have the ability to travel to the office to do so.
Advice
I would definitely tell interns to be as transparent as possible. The Consortium staff are amazing and will do everything to work with you so just be transparent about any commitments or trouble you may be happening.
