3 New Interns Join the NDC Team
As the saying goes, “out with the old, in with the new!” This May, NDC welcomed three new interns to our team. These three Ohio State students join our full time staff and our two returning interns (so, not “out with the old” altogether…) Student interns give the office and our projects new energy and perspective, and we look forward to seeing what our team will accomplish in the coming year. Meet our new interns below!

ARNOLD VALDEZ // CITY & REGIONAL PLANNING
Arnold is a graduate student in City and Regional Planning at the Ohio State University with a Master of Planning and an undergraduate degree in Geography.
