Weissman interns to explore world
Program enables students to experience global community firsthand
For the past 13 years, the Weissman International Internship Program has provided more than 250 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 Weissman Program, established by Paul ’52 and Harriet Weissman in 1994, enables students to develop a richer understanding of the global community in which they live and work, and provides an opportunity for them to share their experiences with the Harvard community when they return.
This year’s 39 Weissman Interns will work in a wide range of private and public organizations in business, education, the environment, government, health and medicine, law, media, public service, science, and urban planning. Four of the 19 countries that the interns will visit this year are new destinations for the Weissman Program: Egypt, Guatemala, Rwanda, and the United Arab Emirates.
