Caleb Meyer, a 2018 graduate of Penn State, was the social science and geology and graphic information systems (GIS) intern at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming from May to September 2018 as part of his required coursework for the recreation, park and tourism management (RPTM) major in the College of Health and Human Development.
He stayed for 14 weeks — two weeks past his required time because the experience was such a positive one. When he finally did leave, Meyer brought back more than what he came with by gaining valuable, real-world experience in public land management.
