On May 13th and 14th at the Custom House in Philadelphia, PA the 13 selected students for the 2010 ProRanger Philadelphia Cohort met with the ProRanger staff and the supervisors from their assigned parks. This time was spent discussing the students upcoming internships, ethics, operational leadership, Fundamentals of the National Park Service, and the student handbook for the ProRanger Philadelphia Program. Also, during the time together students were presented their uniforms (as well as the proper way to wear them compliment of Northeast Regional Chief Ranger Jill Hawk). This time spent together helped to ease the anxiety that many of the students were feeling towards the upcoming internships.
