“The intern program in the Americas is a two-way street where both the students and Avnet benefit tremendously. Students get the opportunity to apply and test their knowledge on Avnet business initiatives, and Avnet has the opportunity to engage incredibly talented individuals who bring fresh and unbiased perspectives that help us grow as a company.”

13. Reflection - Yanni
The remarkable thing is we have
a choice everyday regarding the
attitude we will embrace for that
day. We cannot change our past,
we cannot change the fact that
people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play
on the one string we have, and
that is our attitude.
Charles R. Swindoll
