The Vera Institute of Justice

Guggenheim Fellow

June - August 2021 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I liked the culture of teaching, and that they allow interns to get involved in lots of different ways. They also made the leadership team very accessible through intern brown bag lunches weekly.

What I wish was different

The remote setting made it harder than in-person to get to know more people at the company and understand different roles.

Advice

Make sure to take notes and follow up on the connections you make.
