Liberty Science Center Interns Make Permanent Impact
Ken DeGhetto provided a copy of the letter that he received from Deborah Steiner, Director of Guest Services and Training at the Liberty Science Center. The letter describes the value that the Liberty Science Center and its guests derived from the work done by the Rensselaer interns who worked at the Science Center this summer.
Ms. Steiner writes, "This year's students have left behind projects of great value. Their works range from a prenatal imaging guide, to an exhibit used to teach our guests the skill and dexterity required if one wishes to become a successful surgeon.... Over the years, the internship program has provided a valuable experience for both staff and students. We look forward to this continued relationship...."
The Liberty Science Center Internship Program is one of the largest, longest running, and most successful programs of the Rensselaer Club of New Jersey. This summer, the Internship Program completed its seventh consecutive year of operation.

Mr. Ken DeGhetto
RPI Alumni Committee
1000 The American Road
Morris Plains, NJ 07950Dear Ken:
I would like to take a moment to thank you and the entire RPI Alumni Committee, along with its many funders, for making another successful summer at Liberty Science Center possible. As you know, the internship program works to everyone's benefit. Not only do the students put their interests and talents to the test, but LSC (and our guests) also reap the benefits of improved activities, new exhibits, and updated background materials.
This year's students have left behind projects of great value. Their works range from a prenatal imaging guide, to an exhibit used to teach our guests the skill and dexterity required if one wishes to become a successful surgeon. Many of the students' projects can now be seen on our exhibit floors, and have already been enjoyed by countless guests.
Over the years, the internship program has provided a valuable experience for both staff and students. We look forward to this continued relationship and are excited to see the fruits of next year's labor.
Once again, on behalf of the Liberty Science Center thank you for your continued support of ths worthwhile program.
Very truly yours,
Deborah Steiner
Director, Guests Services and Training
