Summer Student Internship Program<br />
The VARI student internships were established to provide college students with an opportunity to work with professional researchers<br />
in their fields of interest, to use state-of-the-art equipment and technologies, and to learn valuable people and presentation<br />
skills. At the completion of the 10-week program, the students summarize their projects in an oral presentation.<br />
From January 2007 to March <strong>2008</strong>, VARI hosted 74 students from 22 colleges and universities in formal summer internships under<br />
the Frederik and Lena Meijer Student Internship Program and in other student positions during the year. An asterisk (*) indicates<br />
