IIP Evaluations
Evaluations from previous IIP Interns help frame the context of the work you may hope to pursue as you apply to the International Internship Program (IIP).
Evaluations help guide decision-making, but they are only one aspect of deciding which internship is best for you. If you haven’t yet scheduled an appointment with an adviser, or attended an upcoming info session, there are still opportunities to gain more information on IIP.
