We were fortunate to have two wonderful students serving as undergraduate interns for Spring 2018. Eliana is from New York and is studying Geography as a major with Religion as her minor. Jamal comes from Connecticut and is also a Religion minor while studying Neuroscience as his major. The internship role includes helping with marketing and outreach for the Interfaith Center, as well as planning and implementing various programs. They each receive academic credit by enrolling in an online course designed to compliment their internship experience (i.e., AS 190). Contact Laura if you are interested in learning more about the internship position.
