Moury was assigned to the community of Hubbardston, Mass., where he developed educational material on Lyme disease. As part of the internship, students created presentation posters and abstracts. Moury made a poster and presented the materials he developed to an audience.
鈥淭he summer internship was a great use of my Practical Experience time,鈥 Moury said. 鈥淚 found that working with local communities on issues that are important to them helped me better understand what I can do with the education I鈥檓 receiving at UNE.鈥
