The student will have opportunities to visit programming in person and to work with data to inform the narrative portion of the grant. |
| Higher Heights (Communications Intern) | The Communications Intern will collaborate with the communications team to develop engaging and creative content for various communication channels, including social media, email newsletters, website, and blog posts. They will design visual assets, monitor social media analytics, help manage the website, and plan events. |
