THANK YOU to our Winter and Spring 2016 Interns!
It is that time of the year again when we have to say “再见” (zaijian, goodbye) to our wonderful crew of interns! This past winter and spring, we had the chance to work with 4 passionate and talented students while they were abroad this year.
Joining us for the winter semester, we had two part-time interns, Sophie Allison and Tammy Tian, from the University of California, San Diego and the University of Wisconsin, Madison respectively. This spring, we had two more part-time interns join us in the office: Megan Cansfield from the University of Michigan and Mi-yeon Park from the College of New Jersey (affectionately known as “M&M”) who both were studying abroad through the IES program.

All four of our interns this year were some of the most genuine and sweet individuals we have had the pleasure of working with. Each of you brought wonderful energy and ideas to the courtyard, and we enjoyed learning with you and from you. As you return home and continue on to other pursuits we know you will continue to be bridge-builders, and we’re looking forward to seeing what you will do in the future.
Thank you all for the wonderful memories, and come back to visit us soon!
