As summer rolls around here at National Life it signals the return of many things; our company’s electric Do Good Fest, picnicking, and of course… the interns!

This year National Life has a total of 47 interns, 35 at our Vermont campus and 12 in Texas, again filling up all positions available (and parking spaces) with the best students from across the country.

Thanks to the People Center Team, the orientation was a huge success and National Life has another year of top-quality interns with students from 16 different universities.

The interns were welcomed on May 31st with an amazing “all hands on deck” effort from the People Center team. Kara Saylor led the orientation with Joyce LaRosa representing corporate leadership.

Kara and Joyce engaged the interns in fun and exciting discussions and activities to learn more about the company and one another. Additionally, past interns made a surprise appearance to welcome the next generation and provide insight on their amazing experiences interning for National Life.

Here’s who are interns are this summer. Please say hello and welcome them if you haven’t already had a chance.
