In 2008, Moore Colson will provide executive housing for its
interns. The firm recently contracted with a local provider to offer
prospective interns the opportunity to live in a gated community
less than 2 miles from the office. “Students need nothing more than
their suitcases, everything else is provided for them, says Jeff
Hays, Partner of Finance and Administration, Moore Colson. The unit
is fully furnished from knives and forks to linens, internet access
and a TV. We feel by providing housing for our interns, who do not
live in the area and have no alternative options, that we can help
them feel at home while avoiding the daunting task of a long
distance search for accommodations and roommates. I believe it also
helps their parents feel a bit more at ease knowing that their
children are in a good place, in a big city”.
