My SAS internship finally started today. Today was mainly an introduction. Ms. Dougherty gave an informative presentation about SAS, where we learned about the history, values, motto, and culture. My favorite SAS tradition that I learned about was M&M Wednesdays at SAS, where we found out that SAS is the largest corporate M&M consumer, at 11 tons of M&Ms per year. I recieved some M&Ms today as well! We also received notecards that explained some more of the history about SAS’s M7M tradition. After the introduction, we went to lunch. After lunch, we spent some time with our host, Ms. Jess Mayo. She explained her role at SAS and what she works on. Ms. Mayo works in the Software Research & Development team in SAS, and she is responsible for testing SAS’s software before it is released. I look forward to working with SAS in the next 2 weeks.
