Advice on HF Internship

Have an internship with the Operations Team at a large HF coming up this summer. I have some connections that I have made, but I want some insights on how to really crush it. I'm leaving a full-time position in an unrelated field and taking a leap of faith here, but it's an opportunity of a life time and I want to make the best out of it.

I'm also graduating from my MS program from a non-target right before I start, so this is a chance for me to show I want to stay for the long run.
