Weissman internship recipients named

For the past nine years the Weissman International Internship Program, established by Paul (’52) and Harriet Weissman in 1994, has provided nearly 150 Harvard sophomores and juniors with the opportunity to participate in an international internship in a field of work related to their academic and career goals. The internship strives to expose students to other cultural, political, and economic systems.

This year’s 25 Weissman interns will work with organizations from both the private and public sectors in Africa, Central and South America, Europe, Russia, and Southeast Asia.
