What are Isla alumni saying?
I was most drawn to Uganda because I desired to work on global health issues and international development. As a Global Health Development intern, I gained experience in real-world applications of program planning, implementation, and evaluation, in an international setting.- Jaclyn Williamson, Colorado School of Public Health at Colorado State University
In addition to fulfilling a summer internship requirement for my master's degree program, this experience provided valuable experience and knowledge working in a global health context.- Margaret Rice, Yale University School of Public Health
This Isla internship has allowed me to get first-hand experience in a field that is built upon working towards helping others, which drove me towards this internship in the first place. Jared Nunes, CalPoly University
Dear Isla, Thank you all so much for your help in and out of the program. Without you all at Isla we would not have been able to experience Kosovo the way that all of us students have. I truly believe that with the help of Isla , our experiences have been elevated. Cody Vandergrift, Miami University of Ohio
