PA 19464 | PH 215 323 4070 Lf College Intern Program Offers intern program at the beginning of this year which permits students to “learn the nuts and bolts of the dairy” while at college, explained Paul Knight, superintendent of the dairy facility. The program offers a student experience and a lucrative financial package, according to Larry Hepner, agriculture department chairman. The financial package includes room, board, tuition and a stipend for one year. “It gives the student one more step toward the responsibilities they will encounter later in their career. The program is very positive and gives the student a good insight into the management of the dairy and tremendous responsibility in short intervals,” Hepner said. Under the program, when the superintendent is away the management of the dairy falls to the student intern. “When they graduate they will be able to say they know more than how to milk cows,” Knight commented. The program is open to juniors and sophomores at the college. Seniors are not candidates, Knight ex plained, because of the year-long commitment two semesters and the following summer. “We don’t want to prevent the seniors from being able to take a position because of their commitment to the college.” The students in the program must also ride what can be a fine line between management and their peers. “Although they earn the respect of their peers, it takes a special person to be able to fill the position,” Knight observed. “I don’t think we could get better students than the first two,” he added.
