It was always my dream to return to Brazil after living there for six months when I was a kid. I figured the summer of 2024 was the perfect chance, and I took the opportunity!
Harvard's David Rockefeller Center of Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) offers a Brazil Summer Internship Program (SIP) for select Harvard undergraduates. I applied and was accepted (along with nine other students) out of 100 applicants.
The SIP program included interviewing and matching with an internship host organization, living with a host family, and participating in cultural immersion activities.
