Great job, Christian Benner!


Recently, Christian, a senior electrical engineering major interning as an engineering laboratory assistant on Idaho State University’s Idaho Falls campus, was named the CPI Intern of the Month.


“Christian has gone above and beyond this semester setting up a weekly laboratory workspace for a disability accommodation,” stated Andrew Chrysler, electrical and computer engineering assistant professor and Benner’s supervisor. “He has continuously created the workspace, but also proactively worked with myself and the disability services office to create and improve laboratory accommodations. His hard work is creating valuable opportunities for other students.”
