you today in regards to our post internship opportunities for animal care and education. We are one of eleven accredited sanctuaries through the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries rescuing exotic big cats and bears from the exotic pet trade/entertainment
industry. TCWR has been rescuing big cats since 1992, providing a forever home and vet care to animals that have been abused and neglected.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:10.35pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Our internship program was formed in 1997 and has graduated 450 interns since its creation. Since the beginning of the program,
90% of our interns have been successful in securing a job in the animal related field from veterinarians to animal keepers at other true accredited sanctuaries and zoos. Our own veterinarian started here as an intern, became a staff member, left for vet school
and came right back.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:10.35pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">We have always mailed a flyer to the career centers and biology departments. However, we know everything is going digital
via Handshake and other platforms. We already post on handshake, but are still developing a flyer for the schools. We are emailing you to ask for your assistance in sending the attached flyer to your prospective students and biology departments whether it
is printing it for you bulletin board, sending it to them directly, or sharing on your platform. We would really appreciate your help in sharing our internship opportunities. We have seen a change in the number of applicants compared to the past and hope that
this will help further spread our mission.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
