2024 Douglass-O'Connell Global Interns
2024 Global Interns
During their eight weeks in Ireland, the 2024 Douglass-O’Connell Global Interns attended lectures on the history of social change in Ireland, participated in extracurricular and networking activities, and interned with a host company that aligned with their skills and career goals.
Whether writing, editing, and publishing articles for one of Ireland’s leading media companies, analyzing data-based trends to optimize urban transportation for a cutting-edge Transportation Tech startup, or advocating for human rights for those living in chronic poverty, the interns not only grew professionally but also contributed to the important work of their host companies as they worked alongside Irish colleagues.
