Bet you didn't know that nurturing the next generation of opera performers, technicians, and enthusiasts begins in classrooms. Join Key Change co-hosts Anna Garcia and Olga Perez Flora on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Santa Fe Opera Department of Community Engagement and Education, featuring guest appearances by Season 5 favorites Charles Gamble, Director of Community Engagement, and Marissa Aurora, Community Engagement Liaison, plus new friend Olivia Dorrell, Administrative Coordinator.  “We're all moved by the extraordinary pageantry, music, and movement of opera,” says Charles. “I'll be honest with you, though; the thing that most excites me is the process of being able to engage in that process with young humans and watching them do the heavy lifting of being artists.”  Santa Fe Opera's myriad school programs and summer camps introduce children as young as three to the collaborative spirit of opera, while professional development workshops help teachers use opera to facilitate learning. Internships provide an essential point of entry for college-aged talent. “It's been really rewarding to see and hear from the students how it's opening their world to a lot of career paths that they didn't think were possible in New Mexico,” says Marissa. Other initiatives like volunteer opportunities, the Pueblo Opera Cultura Council, and the Pueblo Opera Program ensure that Santa Fe continues to be a welcoming environment for all. Oliva agrees. “It's always lovely to welcome so many patrons to the preview dinners, some seasoned opera-goers and some attending the opera for the first time.” FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE Charles Gamble, Director Of Community Engagement  Marissa Aurora, Community Engagement Liaison Olivia Dorrell, Administrative Coordinator MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Opera Storytellers Summer Camp | Santa Fe Opera Pueblo Opera Program | Santa Fe Opera Pueblo Opera Cultural Council | Santa Fe Opera ALTO: Arts Integration | Santa Fe Opera Guilds Of Santa Fe Opera, Inc Opera Theatre | University Of New Mexico Albuquerque Academy Northern New Mexico College The Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts Lucio Silla 2005 | Santa Fe Opera Der Rosenkavalier | Santa Fe Opera The Turn of the Screw | Santa Fe Opera Die Walküre | Santa Fe Opera La bohème | Santa Fe Opera KEY CHANGE RECOMMENDED PLAYLIST An Opportunity to Encounter Excellence (and Big News!)

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner who is looking to create an internship program for your firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson chats with Adam Rossen, who shares insights on the successful internship program at Rossen Law Firm. Adam discusses the evolution of the program and highlights the value of informal yet immersive experiences for interns.Internships within the legal space are important experiences that help prepare law students for life as a lawyer. Adam talks about the significance of good internship programs and why law firms who don't have them need to create a viable program. Internship programs will look different across firms, but it is crucial to sit down and think about what aspects of being a lawyer should be taught to interns. Does your program involve tasks like research, client intake or trial support? Think about what soft skills need to be taught like effective client communication and projecting confidence when presenting a case at trial. As a law firm owner, it is important to provide interns with the skills they need to be successful and think about how your internship program can improve as the years go on.Internships also provide students with the chance to differentiate perception versus reality as it relates to working in the legal space. Many who watch legal dramas, like Law and Order might be fooled into thinking law and law enforcement are the same as what is shown on TV. Adam emphasizes that the legal space is not glamorous at all times. There is a lot of hard work that can take months to complete as a case makes its way through the criminal process. There is also a lot of administrative work involved and interactions with different types of people that can make the work both exciting and stressful.Listen in to learn more about how to create a successful internship program! 02:34 Starting the Internship Program09:51 Program Structure and Requirements 15:02 Introduction to Internship Curriculum 22:29 Curriculum Components 34:25 Curriculum Structure for Interns42:42 Confidentiality and NDA for InternsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Adam:Website  Instagram  Facebook X Linkedin Youtube  TikTok

The path to creating a more compassionate world isn't always clear-cut, but Tobias Leenaert has dedicated his life to finding practical and impactful ways to make it a reality. A thought leader in the vegan movement, Tobias brings a pragmatic lens to one of the most pressing ethical and environmental challenges of our time. In a recent conversation with Dr. Frank Sabatino on the NHA Health Science Podcast, he shared his strategies for making plant-based living accessible, achievable, and appealing for people around the globe. As the co-founder of Ethical Vegetarian Alternatives (now ProVeg Belgium) and author of How to Create a Vegan World: A Pragmatic Approach, Tobias emphasizes a results-driven methodology that prioritizes empathy, inclusion, and systemic change. His journey, which began with a simple yet profound moral question at the age of 10, has evolved into a lifelong commitment to reducing suffering and building a sustainable future. A Lifelong Commitment to Compassion Tobias' journey began in Belgium when, as a child, he asked himself a simple question: “Why do we pet dogs but eat cows?” Growing up surrounded by both pets and farm animals, Tobias was struck by the lack of a morally relevant difference between the two. This realization planted the seeds of his activism. However, it wasn't until his university years that he fully embraced veganism, inspired by his academic exploration of human-animal relationships and the consequences of meat consumption. Internships with leading U.S. animal advocacy organizations like PETA and FARM gave Tobias firsthand experience in global activism. Upon returning to Belgium, he recognized a gap in advocacy efforts and founded Belgium's first vegan organization to address it. Over the years, this organization evolved into ProVeg Belgium, a global leader in plant-based advocacy. Full post at: https://www.HealthScience.org/118-tobias-leenaert

I've been seeing a ton of great PAID wildlife internships being posted so I thought it would be a great time to go over how to get an internship for wildlife biology, ecology, zoology, and conservation careers. So for this episode of the Fancy Scientist podcast, I am talking about everything to do with internships in wildlife careers. This includes ecology, conservation biology, zoology, and environmental sciences.In the first part of this podcast, I talk about what is an internship in wildlife biology and how it differs from other experiences such as temporary field assistant positions and volunteering because internships are supposed to be a more unique experience. Also, I get the impression from talking to literally hundreds, probably even thousands of struggling and aspiring wildlife biologists that internships are really coveted or desired. A lot of people actually think that you need internships to succeed. Why is this? Although they are unique and different from other experiences, is this true for wildlife careers?Next I talk about how to find internships. I go over the important wildlife job boards, but also discuss having to look elsewhere and why, including individual organization websites and maximizing your search by following organizations on LinkedIn and connecting with wildlife professionals there. In this ultra competitive field to make sure you're not missing opportunities, I go over the importance of cold networking and using social media to cast your net even wider.Lastly, I cover all the different types of wildlife internships: paid, unpaid, and those that you pay for (yes! This is a real thing in our field). Besides payment, what are the differences in those experiences in terms of the outcomes you get? Do they prepare you and give you the experience you need to get you on track for your wildlife dream job? Of course you want to get paid, and although those are becoming more common, they are more competitive, so this may not be possible for you at the moment. Is it worth it to take an unpaid internship? What about those that you pay for?Once you find internships to apply to, it's essential that your application stands out. As I mentioned above, this field is super competitive and wildlife internships, like almost all wildlife jobs, are not easy to get! You are going to be amongst dozens, and it's not uncommon to be amongst even hundreds of other applications. I talk about the key principles needed to ensure that your application gets put into the “yes” pile. For instance, you want to make sure that you qualify for the internship, have a wildlife resume – not a regular resume, and write a compelling cover letter. To increase your chances, you want to be networking – and you don't have to do this in person. Online is an extremely effective way to network!You might be surprised by what you learn. In fact, you might not even need an internship at all!Even if you are not looking for internships, but are interested in working in the wildlife field, what you're going to learn in this episode is definitely going to apply. Make sure you stay tuned and listen to this whole episode. And the most important part is I want to help you get those internships or whatever experiences you are applying for. So the tips you are going to learn today are going to raise your game.My goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to successfully navigate the internship landscape and ultimately secure your dream wildlife job wildlife.Specifically I go over:What is an internship and what makes it uniqueDo you really need an internship?How to find wildlife internshipsHow to make your job application stand out so that you get wildlife internshipsHow to get internships when your job applications aren't getting you interviews and resources to helpThe importance of networking to enhance your internship searchThe difference between paid, unpaid, and internships that you pay forIf unpaid and internships that you pay for are worth it to build experience in your wildlife careerAnd MORE!Full show notes:
