Promise Scholars perform Said about our interns…

“They were always willing to take on new tasks, learn new things, and accept new challenges. Our department would not have been able to achieve the work needed to provide support for Yale College courses without them.”

“Our scholar was conscientious and very focused about performing at the high standard I expect of all of my permanent direct reports. He contributed to our bottom line and I would hire him again.”
