Saul M. Goldin Memorial Internship

Saul M. Goldin Memorial InternshipIn honor of Saul Goldin, this internship program was established to encourage and recognize students in Southern California who have shown an interest in lighting and to raise their awareness for lighting advancement and its application. The Illuminating Engineering Society, Los Angeles Section (IESLA) will partner with the California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) at the University of California at Davis. CLTC is a full-scale research laboratory and was established as an industry, utility, and government partnership to accelerate the development and commercialization of efficient residential and commercial lighting technologies. One student will be awarded to join CLTC for an 8-week summer internship (June-August).
