It’s a sad day for all the student interns at the Sustainability Team as our work placement has come to an end! Myself (Lisa Crossey), Hannah Howarth, Jonathan Kidd, Jennifer Lowery and Hannah Wright would like to say a big thank you to the team for all the support and encouragement they have shown us throughout the year.
Hannah Howarth had the following to say about her time with the team; “I’ve really enjoyed being part of the office and getting to know the members of the team because they are all really friendly. I’ve had an outrageous time! My favourite part of placement was carrying out the waste audit across the university it was really fun and interesting! Sometimes a lot of the things we study at university are quite theory based and so it is great to work on practical campaigns and do something hands-on.”
Jonathan Kidd and Jennifer Lowery also mentioned that the highlight of their placements was getting some real life work experience and working with a great team. When asked if they would recommend a placement with the Sustainability Team to other students they both replied “definitely!”
When asked what her favourite part of placement was, Hannah Wright said, “The free farewell lunch! [Laughs] No that was a joke, I really have enjoyed my time here. It was great gaining experience in a field related degree and working with professionals that are enthusiastic about their jobs.”
Overall it has been a great experience for all the student interns and again we would like to say another big thank you to the team! We hope that they have enjoyed the past year as much as we have and we wish everyone all the best in the future!
