Join the Odessa Chamber of Commerce at the 2024 Home to Texas Reception to celebrate this year’s Odessa and Big Spring interns from 5 – 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 25, at the Ellen Noël Art Museum (temporarily located in the Shepperd Leadership Institute and Presidential Archives). Each student will be recognized and asked to speak on their experience during the internship.
Home to Texas is a summer internship and workforce development program that facilitates University of Texas undergraduates with well-paid internships and research experiences designed to help them understand the underlying values of their home communities.
During this experience, students enroll in a summer online course that requires local community research and analysis. Students interview members of their communities, distribute surveys and prepare reports on the challenges and opportunities they discover. Participating students develop a greater appreciation of their hometown communities, increasing the chance they will consider returning after graduation.
