Students Tour Aspen Grove

On November 16, a group of BYU students had the opportunity to travel up the canyon to Aspen Grove. Aspen Grove has provided many internship opportunities in the past for BYU students, and they are currently undergoing some major renovations and additions. Here is what one student who attended said about the experience.

"Jim gave us a tour of some of their grounds and explained the unique issues that they face being up in the canyon. He also explained why the need for construction was so big. They have a couple buildings that are the original structures from when the camp was started. All of those need to be rebuilt completely. Especially with the high demand for family camp outs; which is why the new lodge is being built. It's pretty impressive and the floor plan is available online. Each of the 3 floors will house about 34 people, and will have sitting rooms and a large common area.


We also got to talk about internship opportunities. Everyone that has worked at Aspen Grove for the summer comes back with a lot of great technical skills. They love the guys in our program and are happy to have us up there, even if we come with no technical experience what so ever. As long as the student is hard working, the maintenance staff will work with them to maximize the value of their internship." - Mark Robison

World Workplace 2007 Recap (part 2)

As promised, here are a few responses and thoughts from students on their experience at World Workplace.

"Every World Workplace has been worth it and has been very beneficial."

"I have been to four World Workplaces now, and I can't pick a favorite, each one offered something different."

"This was my first experience and I got a lot of different perspectives from the people I met there."

"It was a great chance to get to know people from the program outside of school."

"The earlier you go the better it is for making friendships with the other students."

Obviously, this was a great experience for all of the students. All had a great time and learned a lot from the experience. I think the biggest feedback I got from the students was that they really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know other students and make friendships that will last a lifetime.
