What do Summer Analyst actually do?

Sounds like a dumb question but what can a SA expect to be doing during their internship?

I know firms are different in how they structure their programs and every staffing may look different on a day to day. But if anyone can speak on the overall view of responsibilities that the firm trusts interns to do.

I’m curious to know what I should be doing to do good during my internship.
