Stories
IDS students take what they learned in the multidisciplinary minor or certificate program to the real world. Some participated in international and domestic internships and others joined the Peace Corps while some alumni are working overseas. The field experiences initiated by the IDS program are special and unique to each graduate. All have rich and inspiring stories to share. Here are some samples of these amazing stories.
