We're excited to welcome our intern, Connor Garland, to the Growth Alliance!
"I am Connor Garland, and I am interning at the Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance for the summer of 2022! My main role in this position is to lead the Internship+ Program and give local interns the opportunity to build professional skills, network with each other and local professionals, and explore the amazing places and experiences Fort Dodge has to offer. During my time here, I have also been working with the Growth Alliance Housing and Workforce Committees to help encourage the growth and betterment of the city and surrounding areas.
As a newcomer, I have enjoyed getting to meet the many people who proudly call Fort Dodge their home. I am from Kenosha, Wisconsin, and attend college at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where I double-major in Economics and Organizational Communication. At Eau Claire, I will be a senior this fall, and I am very excited to continue my role as a resident’s assistant, partake in environmental economic research on climate change, and begin my new role as an Oaks leader for Navigators, one of the campus ministries. In my free time, I like to hike, play ultimate frisbee, and skimboard. Though, it can be challenging to accomplish the last one, since I do not live near an ocean.
Growth is an exciting thing. I never know quite what to expect, which can be intimidating and surprising. However, I am grateful for the opportunities that have presented themselves and look forward to a great summer."We're excited to welcome our intern, Connor Garland, to the Growth Alliance!
