Benesch Interns Recognized for Summer Success

This summer, 98 students participated in Benesch’s internship program where they gained hands-on project experience and learned important professional skills. As the program reached its conclusion, participants had a final opportunity to share what they learned and to be recognized for their success.

 

Final Presentations

Interns were asked to work in teams to explore how technology could be used to advance one of our disciplines. On the final day of the program, they presented their capstone projects to Benesch leadership in a tournament-style competition. At the end of the day, four groups received top marks.

• 1st Place: Isaac Brakner, Eli Friesen, Eryk Klimaszewski, Liam O’Keefe & Avery Stephany
• 2nd Place (tie): Team 1 – Katherine Bouck, Carter Cercy, Joseph Hallack, Jack Leonard & Dhruv Nair; Team 2 – Nicholas Novak, Sierra Smith, Trevor Fricke, Lucas Bouchie & Kaden Keller
• 3rd Place: Slade Hopper, Chloe Lee, Riley Massey, Cecilia Nemeth & Isaias Rabeca
