For our next intern spotlight, we caught up with Jason Jacondin, Marist '09.

Jason majored in American Studies with a minor in Political Science. Today, he works in the U.S. defense and intelligence sector as a Global Supply Chain Intelligence Analyst for Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. He shared the following experience from his time with HRVI:

"...my second internship still stands out as meaningful because I had the privilege to witness and support the transformation of the 19th century Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge into the Walkway Over the Hudson. It was a remarkable achievement of rehabilitation and innovation that saved the bridge from total demolition. It was amazing being a part of a strong grass roots movement that worked tirelessly to save this key landmark in the Hudson River Valley. We wrote papers, digitized old postcards/photos, and interviewed local community members for oral history preservation. It was a true honor to support this historic effort."
