Way to go Maddie!!! Madison Snider—a Spanish and Anthropology major—has been accepted to the Global Engagement Studies Institute through Northwestern University. This student-founded institute was established in 2005 to encourage university students to partake in effective international development projects. Madison will be spending 8 weeks working in the Dominican Republic and Haiti with the NGO Social Entrepreneurs Corps. This organization provides microfinancing—the distribution of small loans with a reduced interest rate—to entrepreneurs as well as access to key technologies (water purification buckets, reading glasses, solar lamps etc.). Her role will be to act as a consultant between clients and the organization’s administration. Madison affirms that this internship “will be an important aspect in realizing [her] career goals to work in the field of sustainable development.” Madison Snider, Social Entrepreneurs Corps madison snider
