I would highly recommend the HBCU program to others as it was an excellent experience. In addition, the HBCU Program Leader played a huge role in helping me overcome any issues I had as a new intern in a manufacturing environment. Joining this program allows interns to explore other careers within Cummins while also getting to know more about the role they are in and how it fits into the company as a whole. Overall, the HBCU program helped power my potential.

Being a part of the HBCU program for the second summer in a row has truly been a great experience. I've enjoyed my time here, and it has added a lot of value to my summer internship with Cummins. One of the remarkable aspects is the supportive network I've found within the program. The relationships I've built with mentors, colleagues, and fellow interns have been incredibly valuable, providing a strong foundation of encouragement and learning.

My overall internship experience was what I would call nurturing. I felt at peace and comfortable approaching professionals who have been at Cummins long before I was born, and this is all thanks to the welcoming culture in Cummins. This type of culture fosters remarkable relationships and encourages interns to grow by giving them access to people and then invaluable information.
