Internship field placements will provide students with hands-on learning opportunities, as well as opportunities for personal and professional development. Participants will also be offered additional opportunities for experiential learning and community engagement through in-country orientations, homestays and travel seminars visiting Namibia's coast, Etosha National Park, and a rural community.
