<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this email finds you well. There has been a change in the way our intern positions are advertised due to the reorganization of USDA. However, in this large advertisement, there are several positions available with the NRCS in Arizona.
There is one available with us at the PMC. Could you please share this with any students who may be interested? Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.
