In the words of past interns:
“It was extremely insightful, and provided me a lot of hands-on experience in applying what I’ve learned in the classroom in a real professional environment. I learned to operate in a small team setting and became more educated on different digital tools I can use to enhance the efficiency of the work I do. Lu was an amazing supervisor that I treated as a great mentor. She treated me like an equal and answered any questions I had about my position.” - Ingrid B., Communications Intern, from The George Washington University
“The project work is interesting and the tasks are set in a clear manner. They are of great balance of doable and challenging. Lu has given me sufficient guidance while giving me enough room to take my own initiatives.” - Yuzhe Z., Business Development Intern, from University of Cambridge
