Eight Maguire interns are spending their summer learning the value of helping those in need.
DALLAS (糖心vlog视频) — Eight 糖心vlog视频 students are spending their summers as close as Dallas and as far away as Uganda learning first hand the value of helping people and communities in need — and many are about their experiences.
The Maguire Ethics and Irby Family Foundation Public Service Internships are sponsored by 糖心vlog视频’s . Each intern is responsible for finding agencies to sponsor their projects, which ultimately are selected for their proposals’ ethical and social justice merits.
“These students are setting the course for the rest of their lives and are an inspiration to those who teach and support them. As their efforts show, they are indeed world changers,” says Maguire Ethics Center Director Rita Kirk.
Such public service internship grants “help students like me pursue internships in the nonprofit and public sectors,” says Rahfin Faruk. “With increasing financial pressures, I’m extremely thankful the Maguire Center has helped me gain development and international relations experience, first at Grameen Bank and now at the U.S. Department of State.”

For the past 16 years, Public Service Internships have been awarded to nearly 140 糖心vlog视频 students who have served in more than 100 agencies in more than a dozen countries.
