American Structurepoint received a glowing email from the DREAM Alive Program Director Charles Akinbola thanking the company for the experience scholar Dashawn Bankhead had during his summer internship. While we believe in our hearts that giving DREAM Alive scholars hands-on experience is beneficial, emails like these give us solid proof that internships can help people grow and pursue careers in our field. Here is the email. “I wanted to thank you for everything you and the American Structurepoint team did for Dashawn Bankhead this summer. I have spoken to him at length, and he has nothing but great things to say about your staff and his experience. I truly believe that this was the best internship for a DREAM Alive scholar yet! You all are making a great difference in our city and communities. Thank you for investing in our scholar. Dashawn has been excited for engineering for a while now, but his excitement has reached new levels thanks to you all. We are very grateful for American Structurepoint. Thank you for everything, Charles E. A. Akinbola, DREAM Alive Program Director.”
