Great career goal, Miranda. It just goes to show the kind of an impact that
participating in an internship can have on a person.

Sincerely,

Cory McMahon

Hi,
This is a great conversation, and I look forward to hearing the experiences
that others share as well. My interest in the human services field was
really heightened during my summer internship in 2015. I have the
opportunity to welcome refugees to the United States, and I saw the problems
that they experienced as a result of their trauma and resettlement journey.
However, I also saw a great deal of resilience and hope in the midst of what
may seem to some as insurmountable obstacles.
This 13-week internship and all that I learned solidified my desire to
welcome internationals to the United States as my long-term career goal.
Thanks for starting this conversation, and again, I look forward to hearing
others' experiences!

Best wishes, Miranda
