Internship Stories

Why become a Poverty Studies minor?  Ask any Poverty Studies minor that question, and they will probably mention dynamic professors, thought-provoking classes, and the internship opportunities of a lifetime.  But at the heart of why we do what we do are the people we meet in our internship contexts.

Read these stories from previous PVS minors' internships to learn about building relationships that change us for a lifetime.
