Diary of a Summer Intern - 2011

June 3, 2011

Schools may turn into ghost towns over the summer, but at Google offices around the world, that description couldn’t be further from the truth. Interns are flooding in full of energy and excitement ready to get started on their summer projects. To give you an inside look at the day-to-day activities of a summer intern, we’ve decided to start up the second annual “Diary of a Summer Intern” series. The wait is finally over, so here's a first look at our featured interns!
