Zimo has long been fascinated in studying tumors and wanted to learn the skills to utilize software and statistics to analyze the properties of them. Through his internship in the lab, he enhanced his skills in statistics, computer science, anatomy, and bio-medical science.

Matthew Cerny ’17 completed a summer internship with Maxim Group, an investment banking, securities, and wealth management firm in New York City. Having joined the finance club in his junior year at Trinity-Pawling, where the club invested a fake $50,000 in the stock market, Matthew’s interest in investment banking was sparked. “I absolutely loved this internship,” Cerny says. “I have learned so much about not only the stock market, but the finance world in general. Bonds, securities, and the law also play huge parts in the business. This internship has taught me what a good investment looks like and most important how to gauge whether a company will be successful or not,” Cerny goes on to explain. “I got a lot of great advice about what route to take through college and beyond if I do want to go into the business.” Cerny concludes.

Nikolai Degenhardt ’17 completed his internship this summer at Congressman Maloney’s office in Newburgh, New York. Maloney is the congressman for the 18th District in New York. Having always wanted to attend the Naval Academy, Nikolai was interested in this internship, since a large part of the application process was to get a nomination from the congressman. Through the process, Nikolai learned a lot about the ins and outs of politics, including the fact that about 330,000 people vote in the congressional race in our district, which is less than half of our 720,000 people that live here!
