As GreenStone’s finance accounting, legal services, and capital markets interns venture into the last few weeks of their summer internship program, they are taking with them more than a beefed-up resume. They are carrying with them new skills to last a lifetime. All summer, interns Jack Wilkinson, Jacob Gleason, and Amber Hignite were challenged with collaborating on group projects, strategic problem-solving and putting skills gained in the classroom to the test.
