The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) and the Nebraska Corn Board (NCB) have teamed to provide two college students with the opportunity to be summer interns in two of NCGA’s offices.

Lauren Stohlmann will work at the NCGA’s headquarters in suburban St. Louis and Colton Flower will work at the NCGA’s Washington, D.C. office. Stohlmann is a rising senior at the University of Nebraska studying Agriculture and Environmental Sciences Communications. Her summer will be spent working on marketing development on the American Ethanol NASCAR sponsorship as well as other communication and grassroots activities.

Flower is also a rising senior at the University of Nebraska, majoring in Agricultural Education/Leadership with minors in Agribusiness-Entrepreneurship and Animal Science. His internship will focus on environmental regulations, transportation, free trade agreements, biotechnology, ethanol and energy.

“Nebraska has generously provided interns for our Washington office for some time, and we’re happy to welcome a fifth intern sent to our home office through this program,” NCGA Vice President of Market Development Amie Gianino said. “NCGA has always appreciated the intelligence, professionalism and dedication of these young men and women. While these students gain valuable experience in the field, we benefit greatly from their time and perspective.”
