worked in the refinery three periods
during the last two years. Rod Smith
and Tonja Thompson are co-op stu-
dents in initial refinery assignments.
Co-op curriculum requires students to
alternate class room studies and work
each school term beginning the
sophomore year.
"The summer intern and co-op
programs are integral parts of our cam-
pus recruiting effort," said Dennis
Sprick, Refinery Technical Manager.
"It is a real pleasure having the students
with us. They are a very bright, insight-
ful group and we hope that many of them
will be with us in the years to come. The
work activities assigned to each student
are very important to the refinery. The
students have responded admirably,
making valuable contributions. We
wish them well as they return to the
universities to continue their educa-
tion."
Three interns, Steve Afshar, Kimberly
Clark and Mark Osowick have under-
graduate degrees and are working on
master’s degrees. Kimberly has an un-
dergraduate degree from the University
of Illinois at Champaign. Steve, who is
working on a joint master of business ad-
ministration/industrial engineering
degree has an undergraduate degree
from Michigan while Mark Osowick has
an economics degree from Franklin and
Marshall College.
Following are comments from some of
the students.
Kimberly Clark, in her second summer
of work for Exxon, has found her sum-
mer assignment directly related to her
University of Minnesota studies in in-
dustrial relations. "I’m working with
union and management people to learn
the discipline system," Kim explained.
"To find out what kinds of things need to
happen so that both sides agree to ad-
here to the solution."
"I’m getting practical experience," said
Wren Dailey. "Working with people on
a day-to-day basis to get things ac-
complished. I’m learning what a ’group
effort’ means."
When the regular process contact at
the Light Ends Control Center was on
vacation, Wren filled in. "I worked with
plugged lines, energy reconciliations,
orders for run changes and monitored
