The Citizen Potawatomi Nation Department of Education provides several opportunities for Tribal members and those pursuing academic goals, including a six-week paid internship with the Tribe. This summer, CPN hosted 19 interns, each bringing a variety of unique skills, experiences and goals and made valuable contributions during their internships. Here are profiles for some of CPN’s 2024 summer interns.
