12 Spring 2021 14 Summer 2021 “The skills workshops were incredibly helpful. Prior to
UrbanStems, I never had a real, formal internship, so learning how to network and conduct informational interviews was nice to know and gave me the confidence
I needed. GSI was one of the best experiences I’ve had at Georgetown.”
—Yukta Gutta (C’23)
“This is a very good model and it creates a great summer internship program. I loved the company
I interned for and was pleased when they offered me a part-time job with them during th fall, allowing me to continue with them. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.”
—Lisbeth Medina (B’21)
“I got to conduct research and risk analysis on COVID19 and public transportation on a city-by-city basis.
GSI gave me the skills I needed to be successful at my internship.”
