[ ] **Find a Mentor:** A mentor is someone who can help you navigate the organization, and makes sure you are learning what you need to know and accomplishing what you need to do. A mentor can be a good sounding board for you to discuss ideas, ask questions, etc. Your supervisor could be your mentor, but it could also be another person within the organization.
[ ] Be a self- starter: Take the initiative to support your team and demonstrate your willingness to contribute to the larger goals of the organization.
[ ] Take Notes: During your internship, take notes on the projects you worked on, what tasks you led, skills you developed, etc. This will help you build your resume and help you reference things to bring up in future interviews.

[ ] Build relationships: Your fellow interns may be your colleagues when you start working full-time, so take time to build relationships with your peers. In addition, take time to meet and learn from other team members.
