        “In our experience the interns that come from the Center for Purposeful Work show a real eagerness to really get their hands in the dirt right away and meet the challenges and projects with interest and eagerness to jump right in. I think this says quite a bit about the preparation the Center and Bates College does with these young professionals, but it also says something about the natural spirit of the Bates student and the culture they nurture on campus, in and outside of the classroom. These candidates approach these internships with a very natural confidence to learn by doing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
