Our Cleveland cohort was lucky enough to have dinner with Sereen Nasrallan, a program alum from John Carroll, during her few short days in the city. Their dinner at Heck’s Café was a fantastic welcome to the area and to their summer internships with our local community partners.
SHECP alums, David Marchese and Mason Grist, treated our Austin interns to tacos and ice cream to welcome them to the area and their summer working with local community partners. #SHECPsummerinternship #SHECPAustin
