With its park rangers aging, the National Park Service has been re-evaluating recruitment and training. This spring, the agency launched a new internship program called ProRanger in partnership with Temple. The park service chose Temple because of its highly ranked criminal justice program and diverse student body, said park service officials. Temple student interns Lytia Solomon and Owen McDaniel were among the 13 students who spent the summer as paid interns protecting parks in the northeast. "I like doing right and helping people," said Solomon, who interned at Fort McHenry in Baltimore. "The park service is realizing they want to do something creative, and they are putting their money where their mouth is and reaching out in the freshman year to students," said Rachel Brown, director of Temple's Career Center.
