FARLEY FLORES- El verano pasado estaba un poco molesto por no poder obtener la práctica competitiva que tanto quería. En lugar de ser un empleado en una firma prestigiosa, yo estaba trabajando en una compañía y ganando paga absurda. Sabía que no era la mejor forma de invertir mi tiempo, pero tenía que hacerlo porque […]
AVIVA KARDENER- It’s 12:30am, and I just got home from my first day at my internship with Apunto, a cooking school in the barrio called Chueca, about a fifteen minute walk from the program center.

You can find an internship that fits your major and interests here to have more experience outside of school. You can visit the Tufts-Skidmore Spain website to check out what internship options you may have here. […]
JOANNA DIMAS- Every Wednesday I volunteer at an After School Program through my internship with The Foundation. This organization focuses on empowering people of all ages through education; the program offers support to children, teenagers, and adults. Overall, I agree with the mission statement of The Foundation and I love the commitment this program has […]
