Islamic Convention of North America (Baltimore, Maryland, USA)
I attended the Islamic Convention of North America (ICNA) in Baltimore, Maryland, which provided a unique opportunity to explore leadership rooted in faith and ethics. The theme, “Leading with Wisdom and Compassion in Changing Times,” brought together prominent speakers and experts to discuss ethical leadership in areas like business, community service, and public life. Engaging in panels on youth activism and integrity allowed me to reflect on how Islamic principles influence leadership styles. I also had the chance to network with individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering inclusive leadership skills. This experience will help me contribute to interfaith and cross-cultural understanding back on campus. The convention’s sessions, such as "Ethical Leadership in Business and Community Service,” aligned with my desire to explore how faith-based frameworks inform leadership across sectors. The insights I gained will enhance my ability to navigate complex leadership challenges while upholding strong ethical principles, benefiting both my personal growth and my contributions to campus clubs that I am part of like Black Muslim Path.

Principles of Public Health: Gateway to Europe (Lisbon, Portugal)
I took a "Principles of Public Health: Gateway to Europe" course in Lisbon, Portugal. I had the chance to learn about the foundation principles and concepts surrounding public health and its importance to our lives. I analyzed an in-depth comparison of the healthcare system and public health priorities between the United States and European countries, including Portugal. I sat on guest lectures from Portuguese public health officials to learn about the history of healthcare and its initiatives in Portugal. I had meaningful discussions on how public health actions could be improved in Europe and the United States physically, mentally, socially, and environmentally. I visited historical landmarks important to Portugal’s history. This immersive experience helped me gain a well-rounded perspective on different lifestyles in Europe and has helped me think critically about how to advocate and demonstrate public health on a global scale when discussing disease prevention, resource access, and epidemiology.

The AIR Show (San Diego, California, USA)
Attending the ASU+GSV AIR Show in San Diego was an enlightening experience that deepened my understanding of AI’s role in education. I heard from leading educators and innovators, giving me insights on using AI tools to promote equity and humanize this technology in learning environments. I was particularly inspired by engaging with EdTech companies showcasing cutting-edge developments like AI tutors and virtual interview avatars. My highlights were hearing Bill Nye speak about the importance of critical thinking in today’s world and meeting the founder of GPTZero, whose achievements deeply inspired me, given he just graduated college. This experience has broadened my understanding of AI’s potential applications in education and invigorated my commitment to pursuing a career in this dynamic field. Additionally, it has expanded my vision for what my startup, MLV, can achieve in this evolving landscape.

Health and Healthcare Program (London, England)
I had the opportunity to participate in a program to analyze the "Economic Comparison of Health and Health Care in the UK, the US, and France." This course introduced and explored the three healthcare systems of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France to seek to understand the disconnect between healthcare outcomes and spending. I explored various healthcare services such as the National Health Services (NHS) in London, the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S., and France’s universal healthcare system, Social Security, and various other components in each country's healthcare systems. The program allowed me to immerse myself in British culture through weekly trips to learn about England's history. Cost is a substantial barrier that impacts many individuals' access to healthcare. As a future nurse, this course equipped me with the necessary skills to enter nursing with a holistic and diverse knowledge of which cost can impact patient outcomes.

Global Health Trip (Melbourne, Australia)
I participated in the Global Health Trip to Melbourne, Australia. This experience allowed me to immerse myself in the Australian healthcare system, which was invaluable. We learned about the structure of the healthcare system, which includes public and private hospitals, as well as how insurance operates and the implementation of universal healthcare coverage. We were placed in a public hospital (St. Vincent’s) for three days and in a private hospital (Epworth) for two days. We paired up with a nurse, observed their practice of care, and asked endless questions of one another. As a senior in CSON, I have been through multiple clinical placements in the Boston area and picked up on the many differences between our hospital setup and practice of care and Australia’s. Besides the clinical aspect, I was also able to sit in on a few nursing classes at Australian Catholic University: “Integrating Practice,” “Indigenous Health and Culture,” “Principles of Nursing Mental Health,” and “Principles of Nursing: Extended Clinical Reasoning.” This gave me the chance to interact with students and to hear about their experiences with their nursing program, which I came to find was also quite a bit different than how ours is run at BC. The clinical experience and the classroom experience gave me a great deal of insight to compare with our systems in the US. Moving forward, I am incredibly grateful to have this global lens and context to refer back to and learn from.

UN Transforming Education Summit 2022 (New York, NY, USA)
I attended the two-day UN Transforming Education Summit 2022 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. I met world leaders, including the Ministers of Education of Portugal, Ecuador, Colombia, and El Salvador, Jayathma Wickramanayake (the Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth), Jeffrey Sachs, and Gordon Brown, among several others. I had the opportunity to attend panels where leaders discussed various solutions to promote Sustainable Development Goal #4: ensure inclusive and equitable quality and education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. It was a wonderful experience to meet and connect with other young leaders with whom I discussed ideas to promote quality education in our communities. I also acquired new perspectives that will help me develop a project to improve the education system in Mexico.

Crafting a Better World: Empowering Women Artisans (Jaipur, India)
We traveled to Jaipur, the capital of India's Rajasthan state, to explore the intersectionality of gender and caste. We are making a documentary that will recount the stories of women who, after receiving aid from the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation ("PDKF"), have persevered through poverty, low education accessibility, and domestic or workplace violence, among other issues predicated on systemic sexism. The PDKF's skill-building initiatives—which entail training in stitching, embroidery, heritage crafts, and soft toy making—aim to revive these women's sense of purpose and help them positively contribute to the national Indian economy through artisanship. Per a recent survey by the PDKF, the annual household income of women participating in these programs increased by over 42 percent, on average. Not only that, but when rising craftswomen start selling their handmade goods and earning their own money, they are imbued with newfound confidence, advocate for themselves more readily, and enjoy a better livelihood. Financial and social empowerment are thus closely intertwined, a central theme we intend to illustrate in our documentary.

Ecuador Water Insecurity Projects and Documentary (Imbabura, Ecuador, South America)
This summer, I lived with the San Clemente Indigenous community on the Imbabura volcano in Ecuador. As this experience was a part of the BC Department of Engineering, my primary responsibilities were to create service projects tackling water insecurity in the community. Specifically, we focused on implementing rainwater collection methods and greywater recycling for crop irrigation during the yearly dry season. I also filmed a documentary about the water insecurity project and the history of the San Clemente Indigenous people.
Cyrus Rosen '25
Disaster Nursing Program (Lausanne, Switzerland)
I went to Lausanne, Switzerland, to learn about being a disaster-prepared nurse this summer. Through the program, I built relationships with students from various parts of the world (China, India, Switzerland, and Lebanon) and learned about their healthcare systems. This exposed me to how nurses influence the healthcare system and their power to make real change. Beyond the classroom, I fully immersed myself in the Swiss culture by traveling throughout Switzerland and learning about its history. This once-in-a-lifetime experience has led me to approach nursing more holistically and globally, facilitating my growth and allowing me to become a well-rounded person and future nurse.

Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (New York, NY)
As an Interpreter and Counselor at the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs in New York, I played a crucial role in assisting African migrants with their integration into the community. I provided interpretation and counseling services, ensuring clear communication and support throughout their adjustment process. My responsibilities also included managing confidential records for thousands of clients and demonstrating meticulous attention to detail. Additionally, I actively participated in community outreach programs and contributed to organizing and coordinating events, fostering a supportive environment for new arrivals. This experience profoundly inspired me to create The Tribe Project, a documentary that sheds light on the untold stories of African migrants in NYC. Witnessing their struggles and resilience firsthand, I realized the importance of amplifying their voices and sharing their narratives. The documentary highlights their journeys, challenges, and contributions, fostering greater understanding and empathy within the broader community.

Volunteer Lawyers Project (Boston, MA)
I interned for the Volunteer Lawyers Project of the Boston Bar Association this summer. Working alongside my unit’s paralegal under the supervision of our attorney, I had the invaluable opportunity to help low-income residents of the greater Boston area who would otherwise not be able to afford legal assistance. My responsibilities included completing training in numerous areas of law, interviewing potential clients, drafting intakes, researching and providing referrals to clients, and writing and presenting case summaries for our partner firm, Ropes and Gray, during our weekly meetings. This opportunity allowed me to gain exposure and knowledge of a variety of legal processes and to assist those in need in the Boston area.

Jesuit Historical Archives (Rome, Italy)
This past summer, I traveled to Rome, Italy, where I interned at the Jesuit Historical Archives under Dr. Maria Macchi and Professor Emanuele Colombo. My work included collecting, summarizing, and transcribing historical documents of the Jesuit order. My work was uploaded into a digital database for further academic research. Most of these historical documents consisted of litterae indipetae, letters written by Jesuits to their superiors general to apply for missionary work overseas. The letters were mainly written by Italian Jesuits in Italian, which meant that much of my work involved a deep immersion into the Italian language and culture. Beyond gaining a greater familiarity with Italian, I learned how an archive operates and how historical documents like letters remain relevant even today.

United Nations Association of Greater Boston (Boston, MA)
I was an education intern for the United Nations Association of Greater Boston (UNAGB) this summer. UNAGB is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the work of the United Nations through Model UN simulations and educational programs that build globally conscious citizens via discussion of international civic issues. As an intern, I helped run their Summer Institutes in Global Leadership, week-long programs focusing on global issues (Human Rights, Climate Resilience, Gender Equity, Global Health, etc.) for Boston-area middle and high school students. I developed and taught the students the educational content lessons (on the above topics); mentored them in building public speaking, research & writing, team building, and negotiation skills; and led them through full Model UN simulations while following proper parliamentary procedure. I am grateful for this experience to expand and grow my passion for teaching – especially concerning civic education – to the next generation of Boston-area students.

Hudson Institute (Washington, DC)
This summer, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC, under Dr. Aparna Pande and Ambassador Hussain Haqqani in the South and Central Asia Center. My assignments included analyzing international Intellectual Property laws across South Asia and collaborating with The Takshashila Institution on reports about India-US trade relations, among other research and administrative tasks. My internship also allowed me to engage with policymakers at the Capitol, providing first-hand exposure to DC's landscape. A key project was drafting a few chapters for an upcoming book, which significantly enhanced my research, writing, and analytical skills while deepening my lens on key policy debates, from poverty and populism to protectionism and unions. This experience, particularly the mentorship from esteemed academics and exposure to diverse perspectives helped me develop the critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills essential for emerging as a young thinker in the policy space.

Office of Senator Pavel Payano (Boston, MA)
This summer, I interned as a Communications Intern for Massachusetts State Senator Pavel Payano at the Statehouse, representing the 1st Essex District, which includes the gateway cities of Haverhill, Lawrence, and Methuen. My role involved creating informational graphics to inform constituents about local legislation and the legislative process, writing speeches, attending informational sessions, and researching small and micro businesses in gateway cities. I spent afternoons in Session, witnessing the impactful work of local government, particularly during Budget Week and the close of Session. I was honored to introduce Senator Payano at an Intern Speaker Series event. My rewarding experience led me to continue my internship through the fall semester.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA)
This summer, I was a research assistant at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's Neurology department. I worked under Dr. Jacob Sloane, a graduate mentor, with whom I conducted clinical research on individuals with multiple scleoris. I was able to help identify features of headaches in radiologically isolated syndrome, which will improve the well-being of this population. I also completed projects on headaches and fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis to assess for high-risk features of these symptoms that warrant thorough workups that will prevent long-term disability in this population. My excitement and passion for the healthcare field grew tremendously after this experience.

Center for Disability and Elder Law (Chicago, IL)
The Center for Disability and Elder Law offered hands-on experience interacting with attorneys and clients. CDEL provides free legal services to low-income elderly and people with disabilities in Cook County. This summer, I learned and implemented various responsibilities at CDEL, including prescreening, writing letters to clients, and translating. I contacted candidates over the phone to gather basic information to determine eligibility for our services. This entailed balancing compassion and efficiency, as only so much time can be allotted to each call. However, callers were often in distress, just wanting somebody to listen. I spent much of my internship translating and assisting with developing CDEL’s newest program targeting underserved Latinx communities. In addition, I took on a research project to promote our new community clinic. I found and contacted various locations in the community that would benefit from knowing about us. I learned valuable skills that I can carry into future jobs and classes. More importantly, I learned about the difficulties of being a nonprofit in law. The center struggles with time and financial constraints because of the cost and length of certain proceedings. I will use this knowledge to focus on helping areas that go unhelped because of these restrictions. I plan to continue working with CDEL this fall after seeing how valuable interns are for nonprofits.
Kristina McKay ‘25
Normandy Group (Washington, DC)
This summer, I had the opportunity to serve as a federal affairs intern with the Normandy Group, a federal lobbying firm. During my internship, I participated in meetings between clients and congressional staff, attended congressional hearings and political events, and sent relevant materials directly to clients. Most significantly, during my experience, I learned about the process and unwritten language of federal lobbying. It is a side of government often hidden from the mainstream public but is responsible for significant political change. The opportunity to engage with clients and build an understanding of their goals for hired lobbyists and engage with the firm’s lead partners to see how these goals materialize has provided me valuable insight and experience into the process of federal lobbying.
Patrick McMahon ‘26
Startupbootcamp AfriTech (Cape Town, South Africa)
This summer, I worked for Startupbootcamp AfriTech, a startup accelerator company based in Cape Town (South Africa), and helped them with portfolio management and operation tasks. My role involved managing and updating past legal, operational, and financial information for 70 portfolio startups that range from Agri-tech to AI-tech. I shadowed the portfolio manager to attend weekly startup growth meetings and helped coordinate the conversations around different discussion rooms. I organized a monthly local social gathering for founders and scouted potential investors by participating in tech workshops and club events in Cape Town. Other than connecting founders to investors, I also drafted and co-directed a few investor fund reports based on the updates from portfolio companies. This experience helped me to establish a more comprehensive understanding of how funds and accelerators work in the African system and how it’s built differently from US accelerators.

Office of Congressman Josh Gottheimer (Washington, DC)
Working at the district office of Congressman Josh Gottheimer was an enriching summer experience. Being a district Congressional Intern meant that I had the privilege of seeing the amazing work being done in my immediate community, in my district. Every day at the office, we received numerous inquiries from constituents who sought help in matters such as expediting a passport for an upcoming trip or receiving delayed benefit payments. Even if the inquiry seemed similar to another case, I needed to gather even the most minor information to best assist each constituent according to their situation. I also worked alongside other interns on numerous projects. I assisted in local events attended by the Congressman, whether it be events celebrating local heroes or events detailing the Congressman’s promises for a new or improved public service. I also created posts for the Congressman’s social media accounts and spearheaded projects within the Communications team. Moreover, I attended hearings on key issues such as immigration and created memos for staffers to review. Gaining this behind-the-scenes perspective of congressional work was fulfilling and affirmed my aspirations for a career dedicated to public service.

Justice Bridge Legal Center (Boston, MA)
This summer, I interned at Justice Bridge Legal Center, a non-profit organization that provides low-cost legal services to those in need. At Justice Bridge, I primarily worked on doing intakes for potential clients to have them matched with an attorney in our network. I documented clients’ legal problems, which I then summarized, identified the relevant legal details, and entered into our portal to find an attorney who could assist. I also worked closely with attorneys in the network by assisting them with cases. I helped with a wide variety of cases, including various criminal defense, child protection and custody, and housing cases. I also met with clients and gained first-hand experience with the Massachusetts legal system. This internship highlighted Massachusetts's unmet need for pro-bono and low-cost legal aid.

Harvard Laboratory for Development Studies
This summer, I worked as a research assistant in Harvard’s Department of Psychology in the Lab for Developmental Studies. I worked under Dr. Elizabeth Spelke and a graduate mentor with whom I ran trials on a study about numeracy and language acquisition in children. My primary duties included recruiting participants, conducting trials and collecting quantitative data, coding and analyzing data, and aiding in new study designs. I also had the opportunity to present an academic poster with my findings from this study and participated in weekly journal clubs to learn the classic and current literature of the field. This internship also gave me the chance to network with Harvard professors and postdocs and engage in professional development panels. Throughout the summer, my excitement and passion for developmental psychology grew tremendously. This experience was formative for my child and maternal health research career path.

Royall House and Slave Quarters Museum
This summer I spent my time at the Royall House and Slave Quarters, guiding tours, learning about museum work, and participating in the Reclaiming Our Hands program. On weekends I would guide public tours with a wide range of audiences. I also had the opportunity to provide private tours to groups like historical societies and even a Harvard architecture class. Outside of these, I learned about the technicalities behind museum work, managing museum collections, and restoring historical sites. Finally, the most transformative part of my experience was participating in the Reclaiming Our Hands program with Stephen Hamilton and Kyera Singleton. This program intended to teach black youth from the Boston area about the different textile arts and crafts originating from various parts of Africa, which were taken to America during the slave trade. I participated in teaching these youth topics surrounding slavery, exploitation, and overall valuable skills that offered them a connection to their roots.
Hannah Edwards '26
Divisible (Film)
Over the summer, I served as the Social Media Manager and Copywriting Intern for Divisible—a documentary film about redlining. One of my primary responsibilities was effectively creating and distributing related social media content across various platforms. To do so, I first had to research and deeply understand the origins of redlining and how it continues to impact millions of lives today. My knowledge of redlining and its ongoing and disproportionate effects grew, and I also developed valuable skills that will be fundamental to the rest of my career. With this experience, I have become incredibly passionate about this issue, and I plan to continue advocating for it by growing awareness through education on the topic. After seeing how our film resonated with individuals and communities alike, I am incredibly excited to see the future impact Divisible will make.
Audrey Frigon '24
Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office
This summer, I was a Preliminary Hearings Unit Intern with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. My primary duties included analyzing police data and arrest reports for inconsistencies, establishing a defendant’s background, and drafting and sending out appearance subpoenas to the lead officer or detective on a given case. Additionally, I was selected by my supervisor to assist the prosecutor’s office in a remanded first-degree murder jury trial. I spent weeks preparing for this trial, producing evidence exhibits, analyzing the jury during the voir dire process, and advising the first-chair attorney to strike from the jury box and read into the original transcript of a deceased witness. This was my second summer with the State’s Attorney’s Office, and my heightened responsibilities helped to develop my understanding of the multi-faceted litigation side of the criminal justice system. I am grateful for this experience and the opportunity to understand the unique relationship between every crime, defendant, and victim presented.

Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck Super Fab Lab
I spent my summer interning at the Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck Super Fab Lab in Thimphu, Bhutan. Founded in June of 2022, the JNWSFL makerspace was created to meet the community’s digital design and fabrication needs. My job was to assist in the operation of the FAB23 conference, which brings together hundreds of designers, engineers, and business professionals concerned with the future of makerspaces. I oversaw the laser cutting of over 700 name tags for attendees, screen-printed t-shirts and planned and operated the intern screen printing booth aimed at youth conference participants. I received insight into the behind-the-scenes work required for an event of this magnitude, led various initiatives amongst my intern team, and learned the detailed project management process. Finally, I received a firsthand look into the work being done by Bhutanese people at all levels to use makerspaces to solve the country’s pressing issues.
Margaret Hynes '25
US-Asia Institute
I interned at the US-Asia Institute in Capitol Hill this summer, working primarily with the institute’s Rule of Law (ROL) Exchange Program
between American and Chinese law students. As a program assistant for the ROL program, I researched hundreds of government officials, lawyers, diplomats, and other relevant professionals in the DC area. After curating a list of professionals, I organized meetings for the students to speak with these professionals directly at their respective offices. Once the law students arrived, we spent a month attending around five daily meetings with experts. We spoke about important topics like the
implementation of the Rule of Law, US-China relations, government structure in the US vis-à-vis China, and how to build an equitable judicial system. Outside this program, I planned receptions and cultural events, organized various Congressional 101 series, and composed the twice-weekly newsletter sent to over 3,000 congressional staffers.
Julia Lovas '25
The Borgen Project
This summer, I interned in the Political Affairs department of The Borgen Project—a non-profit entity that fights global poverty. As an intern under the direction of UK Senior Program Manager Kelly Hall, I created and implemented a fundraising campaign, corresponded with my local MP about changes in legislation, attended networking events, and worked to create awareness and support for the cause in various ways. Specifically, the legislation I worked to pass was the Official Development Assistance Act, which would increase the UK’s foreign spending. This position gave me first-hand experience in lobbying for a cause and the inner functions of a larger NGO. It also expanded my knowledge of foreign policy, humanitarian aid, and global poverty. In the future, I aim to work in the humanitarian field concerning law and politics.
Alice Moyle '24
Healthcare-NOW
This summer, I interned at Healthcare-NOW, a national non-profit organization in Boston that advocates for Medicare for All and healthcare reform. In my role, I worked on multiple projects that exposed me to various healthcare policy issues and expanded my knowledge of the inner workings of the U.S. healthcare system. My projects included editing and adding relevant information to the organization’s website, creating and editing scripts for short Medicare for All educational videos, and assisting with fundraising initiatives. I also had the opportunity to research Medicare for All co-sponsorship trends within the House of Representatives. This internship enabled me to meet activist leaders in healthcare reform, learn about the inter-workings of a grassroots organization, and develop my soft and interpersonal skills in a workplace environment.

Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School
My summer was spent working as a Pediatric Epilepsy Research Intern at the Loddenkemper Lab with Boston Children’s Hospital, which investigates advanced pediatric seizure tracking and warning systems. In this role, I collected data by reviewing medical charts and records, optimized databases, and supported research coordinators by helping them enroll patients in research studies. I was also given the opportunity to shadow a pediatric neurologist during clinic visits as well as to present regularly in lab meetings, helping solve any issues we encountered during the week. Additionally, I participated in our journal club by creating a presentation about a relevant scientific journal article concerning a new type of multi-modal seizure tracking device. Through this experience, I learned in-depth about epilepsy, gained a greater understanding of how the clinical research process works, and improved my critical thinking and data analysis skills. I look forward to utilizing these skills on my journey towards becoming a physician.
