The environmental science major worked in a conservation program<\/a> that raised and released lake sturgeon, a species of fish that lives at the bottom of lakes and large rivers. Although the species hasn\u2019t changed much since it swam alongside the dinosaurs, the population\u2019s sharp decline landed it on the list of endangered species.<\/p>\n \u201cThey were tiny little babies and we had over 2,000 of them,\u201d Hunt says. \u201cIt was amazing just to release them out and watch them go free.\u201d<\/p>\n Living with fellow interns gave her the opportunity to network and make new friends. In the evenings, she got to know her roommates, interns from other departments at the aquarium and learn more about the work they were doing.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone was from different places, so we got to learn more about each other what each other was studying,\u201d Hunt says.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
