INTERNSHIPS
Education Multiplied. Supported by Annual Giving, internships are part of the core curriculum for Wildwood juniors and seniors, aimed at extending learning beyond the classroom and encouraging exploration.

Sophia Poulos '10 has always been "a Lincoln Logs, Lego kind of girl," she says, fascinated by what makes structures strong and why they fail. So her internship following her junior year at Wildwood was "awesome."

Sophia spent the summer working with the Network for Earthquake EngineeringSimulation (NEES) at UCLA, an eight-week opportunity that turned into a six-year relationship. NEES@UCLA, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, specializes in mobile testing of structural performance. "It was an experience I wanted more of," Sophia recalls," which decided my path on engineering."

In her final year with NEES, she came full circle, serving as intern coordinator. In 2016, Sophia earned her bachelor's in engineering science from Smith College in Massachusetts, which led her to study for a master's in structural engineering at the University of California, Davis.

Through it all, Wildwood's strong foundation in collaboration, she says, "put me ahead of the game."
