Since 1994, the Weissman International Internship Program has provided Harvard sophomores and juniors the opportunity to participate on an international internship in a field of work related to their academic and career goals. Established by Paul ('52) and Harriet Weissman, the internship strives to expose students to other cultural, political, and economic systems. This year's 24 Weissman interns will work with organizations from both the private and public sectors in Africa, Central and South America, Europe, Russia, and Southeast Asia.

Leah Aylward '03, Jonathan Burton-MacLeod '02, David DeBartolo '03, Olga Fedorischeva '03, Emi Fong '02, Cathleen Greenzang '03, Olivia Hung '03, Neha Jadeja '03, Christopher Kellner '02, Scott Lee '03, Matthew Lincoln '03, Natalie Linos '03, Page McClean '03, Yaw Osseo-Asare '02, Sue Paik '02, Samantha Piper '03, Nancy Redd '03, Matthew Rosenberg '02, Kimberly Sanchez '03, Phillip Scherrer '02, Dominika Seidman '03, Poom Siraprapasiri '03, Claire Sulmers '03, and Beata Ziolkowska '02.
