Today was the summer interns' last day! So sad! Although their first day feels like ages ago, it felt like it all came to an end in an instant. I am really going to miss them!

| Final presentations: Here we go! |
For their final day, the interns present powerpoints based upon their research from the summer. Yesterday we had a dry run, and it seemed that most of the interns felt at least a little bit nervous, if not very much so. Well I am very proud to say, that ALL of the interns pulled out really fantastic presentations today. Everybody came off very confident and knowledgeable, and really did a great job. I am extremely proud of everything that our interns have accomplished this summer! Click here to view pictures of today's presentations.
I am equally excited by how well the interns bonded this summer. I don't think CIS has ever had a group form as strong of friendships as this year's class of interns. They hung out outside of work, went to see movies together, had a party at Kelsey's house this past week, and are even planning group trips to Laser Quest and Darien Lake before the summer is out. And, after the presentations were over, they didn't even want to leave. Everyone hung around for at least an hour afterward, already reminiscing and generally being reluctant to say goodbye. I found that I even had a difficult time breaking away. I made sure to make it well known that they are all welcome to come back and visit anytime they like! I hope a bunch of them come back as Imaging Science students, how cool would that be?!
Oh yeah, I can't end my final interns 2011 post without acknowledging how silly they all are. Just kidding! But they did give us all parting gifts, which are immediately now among my most prized possessions:

| I should point out the fabulous Photoshop job they did for this group picture, and the fact that they intended it to look just so. Just a little Imaging Science humor. #imlovinit |
I will always treasure these appreciation/parting gifts and keep them prominently displayed in my office, and any future office I may work in. (The lava lamp is an especially nice touch!) THANK YOU so much to our wonderful group of 2011 High School interns!!! (I miss you guys already!)
