Humanitarian Practicum Panel

Are you potentially interested in, looking for, or entering into practicums related to humanitarianism?

Come to hear and learn from other Harvard students who have completed practicums or theses related to humanitarian health and action. You’ll hear directly from them about how they found their opportunities, what they accomplished, what they learned, and what advice they have for others. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation and a brief moderated discussion.
