Thank you so much for helping make my Global Studies Internship this summer possible! I cannot express what a meaningful experience I had these past nine weeks working at Youth Global Network in Hong Kong. I have learned so much about what it is like working in a different culture and at a nonprofit, and this time has made me reflect a lot on the impact I want my career to have. I can't say enough good things about this program or my wonderful host organization; my fellow interns and I have unironically said many times how our workplace feels like a family. I've made memories with them that I will never forget: kayaking with my supervisor, hiking to Lion Rock with my interns, riding ferries to Hong Kong's outlying islands, taking a cable car to the Big Buddha, snacking on street foods at Temple Street Night Market (our yummy boba pictured!), and so many meals shared with my coworkers. This was my first time in Hong Kong and my first time in Asia, and I truly would never have been able to have an experience like this without Global Studies.
