I received this from Office of Experiential Learning. A Disney Rep said that they are starting to use optics and photonics and there is a growing need for Photonics Engineers there. Should be an interesting talk.

*Air Force Research Laboratory Human Performance Wing Repperger Research Intern Program
FROM: Office of the Chief Scientist
711th Human Performance Wing
Air Force Research Laboratory
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH
As Chief Scientist for all of the U.S. Air Force’s human-centered research at Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), I solicit your assistance in helping us spread the word about our Repperger Research Intern program. A colleague or acquaintance of yours who works in AFRL suggested I send the information to you for review and dissemination as applicable.
The Repperger Research Intern Program honors the life and works of Dr. Daniel W. Repperger (1942-2010), who was one of our top scientists and a mentor of many young engineers and scientists. Through the program, we will be providing 8-10 internships this summer for graduate students or undergraduate students in their junior or senior year to work under the mentorship of an Air Force scientist. Additional information and application instructions are in the attached brochure. NOTE: This is not a U.S Government position. Students selected for participation in this program, will be offered temporary summer employment for the internship by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education to perform research for AFRL’s Human Performance Wing. Selected participants will be required to undergo a National Agency Background Check before being granted access to government computer systems.
If you have questions, please contact Mr. Mike Griffin in my office at (937) 255-7629 or michael.griffin.15.ctr@us.af.mil.
