Stephen Cipot (1979)
Stephen J. Cipot is a geologist and project manager with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 2 office in NYC. He recently developed an upper level student internship program between his office and his SB alma mater Geology (B.S. 1981), as well as SB's SOMAS program. Stephen believes internships can offer an exceptional opportunity for students to apply college learning with a practical work experience in an applied quantitative sense, and he encourages others to consider creating similar opportunities. Internships are actually not difficult to establish and are set up directly with a college program because they will have 488 and similar level seminars that already allow for internships. Specific internship requirements, details, and number of credits a student will receive are worked out in advance between a college program and the prospective internship employer. Besides receiving college credits other incentives can also be offered, for example, Stephen’s office provides reimbursement to help cover an intern’s commuting expenses to NYC.
