Comments from previous interns
“The education I received as an intern at CNS allowed me to gain a solid foundation in the many facets of nonproliferation over the course of just one summer.” “It is rewarding to know that the finished
products I contributed to are used by people
both in the industry and those who just want to
educate themselves about nonproliferation is-
sues.”
“The CNS faculty are tremendously helpful,
and make it clear from the beginning that they
genuinely value the fresh perspective interns
bring to the program. Working at CNS made
me feel more like a visiting faculty member
than an undergraduate intern, while still giving
me the opportunity to learn.”
“Nuclear nonproliferation will be around for
many years to come and CNS trains its interns
to approach these issues from a number of per-
spectives.”
