Meet our Intern: Tess
Working for any organization during a global pandemic was never going to be easy. As a team that relies on personal connections between universities and the United Nations, fulfilling that aspect of the United Nations Academic Impact’s work was a challenge. However, it was a challenge that I felt prepared to tackle when I was onboarded in January 2021. During my time there, I participated in 27 weekly team meetings remotely, before finally meeting my team in New York. Being at the UN headquarters in person made the internship experience even better, as I was able to see the culmination of my work first-hand.
Meet our Intern: Talita
In November 2019, I received an email from the United Nations Academic Impact team that would change my path. I don’t mean to sound cliché, but since I heard I was selected for the internship programme at United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI), I knew everything would be different for me.
