Summer destinations
To keep track of each other’s whereabouts, students created and populated this map with their summer internship destinations. While not covering the complete planet, they’re certainly spread far and wide.
The biggest group will be found in Washington, DC, though they’ll be distributed across sectors, organizations, and agencies, including:

Delegation of the European Union, Trade Division

This is not a comprehensive list, and the information each student added to the location pins wasn’t consistent, but I hope the message is clear. Students pursue a wide variety of internships and they may be found anywhere in the world.
