“My internship at IIB was a great fit, especially as my first professional experience. The environment was the perfect level of professionalism for me, and my experience was very positive overall. My supervisors kept me busy but never made me feel overwhelmed which was very important to me as a full-time student. It was great to be a part of IIB as an intern because they are an organization whose mission is important to me, and they employ great people.”
–Ellie White, Former Intern
“My fall 2021 Internship was a very fulfilling experience. I learned about what IIB does in the community, including programs that seek to educate about international affairs topics. I gained experience in proposal writing and project planning in the non-profit sector, professional advice, and training while finishing my bachelor’s degree at Canisius College. These factors ultimately led to my full-time position at IIB after graduation, which has allowed me to continue to work on these projects with the Buffalo community.”
–Christopher Krull, International Exchanges & Education Coordinator at IIB (Former Intern)
