Hello! My name is Will Arpornsuksant, I am currently a Junior studying International Business. This was my internship during the summer!

1. My experience in finding this internship was asking around in my clubs if they needed any help for any position in a national organization. I joined Camp Kesem as a Freshman and was looking around for internships when I went to the Camp Kesem website for internships and applied there.

2. Every Fall/Summer/Spring rotation, they have internships for a time so that people can apply and interview for the position. You will need to get an email from them, as they will email people who have experience with Camp Kesem! They have positions from marketing to finance to operations. So, if you do not find what you are looking for, they might have it in a later rotation!

3. Currently, I am looking for a Supply Chain Logistics Internship with an International Business lens.

4. I recommend that people really go into their cover letter and treat it as an assignment that is 80% of their grade, because it is when looking for internships. People's resumes are mostly the same unless you have some crazy internship, so buffing up your cover letter will help a lot more, especially when applying for these internships.

1. Sep 30, 2025, Isabella Rizzo (Isabella_rizzo@gwu.edu)

2. I graduated from GW in May 2025 with a major in IA. I studied Chinese until Advanced Chinese I. I was apart of the Global Bachelor's Program and I had the opportunity to study abroad in Singapore, Paris, and Chile.

3. I'm currently interning at the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) in Santiago Chile which is one of the regional headquarters of the United Nations. Here is where the United Nations posts job/internship opportunities: https://careers.un.org/how-to-apply?language=en . Postings are (generally) frequent and all over the world. Internships are unpaid, but as a current GW student you can receive funding from the KACIF fund. I am fortunate enough to have received a scholarship from the UNA-USA Foundation which allowed me to pursue this opportunity.

4. I studied abroad in Santiago with GW Chile where I was able to make connections in the city. I knew I wanted to intern here and made connections on LinkedIn upon return to DC to set up coffee chats and to learn more about ECLAC and the internship process. Moreover, thanks to connections I made while studying abroad in Chile, I received some support in my internship application. I recommend reaching out to people (while in DC and abroad), using the resources available to you, and never be afraid to ask for help!

5. You must be a senior in order to apply for ANY UN internship. Working with the GW Career Center (Cole Gaudin helped me extensively) also gave me the resources I needed to apply for internships abroad.

6. I have also interned at the U.S. Department of State, at NGO's, and worked various GW campus jobs and I would be happy to chat anytime about my current internship or any previous internships I've had :)

"So many students I've noticed are so independent, and they want to do it on their own, but there's no shame in learning what you don't know. ... And you have to start somewhere. Stepping stones pay off in the long run. The earlier you start, the better."
