This does seem like a great opportunity in the future. I found it interesting that in the blog it stated both interns this summer were selected before the internship was formally announced, and that both are from Purdue...

I know there was no mention or contact to UGA's LA program about it, I would have jumped at the chance to compete for it.

I'm extremely interested!... I know about the Renaissance summer work program as well, but would also love to get my hands dirty for Mr. Dye...

Eric - Do you know where one might find an application or contact for this? I just quickly googled "Pete Dye Internships" can up with both the links that you posted... I'll keep digging, but any more info would be fantastic as an aspiring architect. Thanks for posting this!
