Mayor Rogero hosted a luncheon for interns from the City of Knoxville's "Summer in the City" high school intern program.
Each student also received a special certificate of appreciation from the Mayor.
These students worked for four weeks in July where they were assigned to a specific department. The interns worked approximately 10 hours per week and met weekly for an hour to discuss topics like resume writing, interviewing, business etiquette, and more.
