• Intern Community Give Back: Interns are offered an opportunity to give back to the community as a team for a full-day, allowing interns to network with one another while volunteering.
• Intern Projects: Interns will present an end-of-summer project, focused around their internship work, to Technology and Security teams, Management and Senior Leadership.
