All students with an interest in international studies are welcome to join us for a free workshop with the international studies certificate program advisors and Alyson Kavalukas, Pitt's Internship Coordinator, to learn about how to find international studies internships and volunteer opportunities both locally in Pittsburgh, in the United States, and overseas, through Pitt and on your own! We will discuss who can help find an internship that fits your goals, how to make use of your skills to build your resume or experiences, and you will meet with some current Pitt students who have had a variety of internship and volunteer experiences who will talk about what they did and answer your questions!
