How to be a good Hedge Fund Intern?

I will be starting at a hedge fund in early june as an intern, and it is a remote position. I would like to add that I have just completed my first year of undergrad, so I am only a freshman. What can I do to be successful, make the most out of this internship, and provide the most value to my firm?
