Linda '83 and Paul Barnett Endowed Internship Fund

During my internship with Teach For Armenia, my primary responsibility was conducting research on Generation Z students in Armenia. This project had two components: first, analyzing career aspirations and attitudes toward social impact to help the organization refine its recruitment strategies; and second, a broader study of Gen Z’s goals and opportunities beyond recruitment, which is still ongoing and has led to an extension of my work with the team.

I spent the summer working with Global Treks and Adventures both working with hands-on research in the beautiful and geologically-rich country of Iceland and working with a team of editors to learn what goes into publishing articles. 

Throughout the 2024 Summer season, I worked as a collections management intern under the direction of Dr. Mindy Pitre, Chair of St. Lawrence University’s Anthropology Department. My internship involved re-cataloging and researching a series of Alaskan artifacts from a collection donated to the university in 1978 by James and Ione Couch.
