What types of activities do you do as a DPR intern?

Fatima: Hi, my name is Fatima Pilar Solis. I am currently a student at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, majoring in construction management, and I am heading to my fourth year of college. I am coming to you from the Austin Business Unit, currently working on the tallest building in Texas. As you can see, we're on level 73. You can see the columns being poured and getting ready to get poured. I also help down in the office levels of the building, helping with punch items, getting them closed to be able to walk the floors with ownership. I'm also helping in the residential floors, walking them constantly and following up with trades to help get those units ready.
