“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving”

– Terry Pratchett

Returnee Spotlight

“The Global Internship program is an experience unlike any other. Going into my first in-person internship experience, I did not know what to expect. Once I started, the great environment, amazing people, and purpose behind our work brought me together with everyone in the office. This made the experience truly memorable”
