0 Comments

 
For the third year since its inception, the Higher Education Solutions Network (HESN) has offered their Summer Internship Program to students at Duke University and the other university partners of the HESN lab. The program gives students the opportunity to bring their talent to the US Global Development Lab and other programs at USAID. This summer, Duke is being represented in the program by 10 outstanding students that are providing a wealth of experience and idea to their internships. Throughout the summer these interns will be providing the SEAD blog with insights into the work they are doing for USAID and the developing world.
​
Meet our HESN interns and get a peek into the work they are engaged in this summer:
