Before graduating in May 2023, Human Development and Family Science major Julia Lee spent the spring semester working as an intern at the Korean Church of Syracuse near the Syracuse University campus. “When I met Julia, she was already so passionate to meet the refugee kids and ready to interact with them. It was very impressive,” says Yunhee Kim G’09, an office administrator at the Korean Church of Syracuse.
In September, Lee started her professional career as a teacher assistant at Twin Parks Montessori Schools in New York City that offer programs for children from three months to six years of age. “Because of this internship class, I feel like I got to build more experiences and find if I’m right for this path,” Lee says.
