As the start date for my trip to India inches closer, my excitement continues to build. This summer, I will be working with Atma, an organization that serves as an accelerator for education NGOs in Mumbai and Pune. During my time with Atma, I will work to research what makes some educational programs more successful than others, specifically within the context of India. My journey with Atma began while I was looking at various organizations specializing in education, and I soon found that the firm\u2019s structure very well matches my future career interests. The organization\u2019s volunteer system allows students to take on positions similar to that of a project manager, a role I hope to take on in the consulting realm as a full time career. As a result, the program seemed like a perfect fit, and to give back to Atma for such a great opportunity, I would like to help them develop a tool that measures the success of educational programs through research on various past projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the duration of the internship, I\u2019ll be working and living in the Pune area. While my exact housing arrangements are undecided, I hope to be in the downtown area or near Koregaon Park. The area is home to a college campus, and thus will be an interesting experience around students of many different cultures based in an Indian setting.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m incredibly excited to depart and start my journey, but with so many unknowns around my housing arrangements, my flights, and even the status of my internship visa, there\u2019s also a lot to plan. I look forward to making more final arrangements and hopefully getting on a plane to Pune by mid May!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
