What I wish was different
The start dates for the interns were staggered over a month or so, which made the schedule of intern events a little odd. I wish we had all started within the same few weeks, to better bond and plan events.
Also, I think that they have great intentions when it comes to DIB. It was clear that they are more intentional about creating an inclusive community than many workplaces out there. Moving forward, I think they could stand to back it up with small and substantial contributions (catering food for the Pride social from a LGBTQ+ vendor, for example, or making the options for the paid Juneteenth volunteering centered around Black communities).
