From India, With LovePenn students discuss their summer internship experiences in India.
When traveling to India for the first time, it’s best not to plan too much. That’s the advice Aparna Wilder, Student Programs and Outreach Coordinator for the Center for the Advanced Study of India (CASI), gives to students who participate in CASI Summer Programs, a program that provides students with the funds and opportunity to travel to India for summer volunteer internships and research projects. “It’s easy for students to be in the Penn mentality of plan, plan, plan. They’re in this pre-professional environment, but one thing India enables them to do is really let go and live in the moment,” she said. |
