Fermilab selects approximately fifteen college students to participate in the Summer Internships in Science and Technology (SIST) program each year to help us develop a richer understanding of the fundamental properties of matter. This internship program has been developed to familiarize select college students with opportunities at the frontier of scientific research and to provide experiences that support their choice of science as a career. Interns receive a salary related to the class level that has been completed before coming to Fermilab. The students we target are U.S. citizens and foreign nationals with majors and interests in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and the Computer Sciences. Prof. James C. Davenport of Virginia State University (Petersburg, VA) has been the coordinator of the summer program since its creation. Prof. Davenport acts as the program advisor for all of the students during their tenure here at Fermilab. He helps to settle conflicts and assists in the preparation of the student's final report.
