SUMMER MINORITY UNDERGRADUATE INTERN PROGRAM IN TRANSPORTATION AT TRB
During the summer of 1983 the Transportation Research Board, in cooperation with the Office of Civil Rights, Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA), conducted an internship program for minority undergraduate students. This program, a first for TRB, now will be evaluated and, if given a "good report card," UMTA is committed to making it a continuing effort. Summer internships have long been a part of the educational experience in the United States and have usually provided students with opportunities for continued education while obtaining practical work experience in a sponsoring company or institution. Such internships usually last through the summer and provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to become involved in activities that will transfer to their chosen careers. The TRB program was designed to accomplish these universal goals while, at the same time, provide the interns with an opportunity to view the transportation industry from a researcher's point of view.
