U.S. Summer Internship

In early June 2025, two students from Parami University, Pone Nyet Aung and Bhone Khant Theim, traveled to Washington, D.C., for their internships at internationally recognized organizations: NAFSA: Association of International Educators and the Center for Advanced Defense Studies (C4ADS). They are the second batch of U.S. interns. Due to changes in U.S. travel policy, some successful applicants could not travel to the U.S. for the internship. Now, over a month into their internships, the students are navigating cultural differences while trying to learn new things. Their experiences reflect personal and professional growth in adapting to new cultures, environments, and communication styles.
