Comments from previous interns

“The education I received as an intern at CNS allowed me to gain a solid foundation in the many facets of nonproliferation over the course of just one summer.” “It is rewarding to know that the finished

products I contributed to are used by people

both in the industry and those who just want to

educate themselves about nonproliferation is-

sues.”

“The CNS faculty are tremendously helpful,

and make it clear from the beginning that they

genuinely value the fresh perspective interns

bring to the program. Working at CNS made

me feel more like a visiting faculty member

than an undergraduate intern, while still giving

me the opportunity to learn.”

“Nuclear nonproliferation will be around for

many years to come and CNS trains its interns

to approach these issues from a number of per-

spectives.”
