Audience members at TIMESTEP's Internship Symposium listening to keynote speaker Dr. Erika Hamden. The symposium gives all student interns a forum to present their work at the end of their internship experience.

The TIMESTEP Summer Internship Program is a unique opportunity for UArizona undergraduates in the Physical Sciences to work with small- to mid-sized businesses based in Southern Arizona. A robust internship program improves student retention and post-graduate job placement, both critical to the success of UArizona. Student engagement in the local business community also creates pathways for employment and strengthens the economic development of the region. The 2025 program supported 20 student interns.

PI: Dr. Gurtina Besla, Co-I: Dr. Ewan Douglas, Program Manager: Rebecca Lipson
