Former Interns,
As the Exchange Program celebrates its 25th year, we'd like to hear from you more than ever.

One intern from the class of 1999 recently wrote, "The program opened so many doors for me years ago, and I would quite literally not be where I am now had I not participated."

Has the Program helped you in any special way? Did your international experience help you land a job or build a professional network? Please let us know.

In the summer of 2007, I worked with an NGO in Scotland to research and report on training and materials resource needs essential to preserving the rich stone-built heritage of that country. This experience inspired my master's thesis, an inventory of New York’s stone building stock and a labor market needs assessment of the stone masonry trade. My thesis and active interest in traditional building trades and the sustainable management of built resources led me to the co-chairmanship of the US/ICOMOS Committee on Training. In addition to giving focus to my professional interests, the Program has helped me to form many good friendships and build professional contacts.
