The 2012 High School Intern Program at the South Carolina Aquarium kicked off with an orientation for 20 selected Tri-county area students and their parents last Wednesday, January 4th. This program is provided in part by a $15,000 grant from The Alcoa Foundation. Pictured here are three representatives from the local plant, Alcoa Mt. Holly, who attended last week’s orientation. Congratulations to all of the selected students and Drew and I are so excited for classes to begin!!!
