Welcoming Our Fall 2024 Intern Cohort

As the leaves begin to turn and a crispness fills the air, The International Center is excited to welcome our Fall 2024 intern cohort. This season, we are not only embracing fresh faces but also celebrating the return of familiar ones. Each intern brings a unique set of skills and experiences that align with our mission to foster a globally engaged Indiana.

Returning Talent: A Warm Welcome Back

We are thrilled to see the return of four exceptional interns who have already made significant contributions to our work:

• Brock Worrell is rejoining us as an International Diplomacy intern. A senior at Marian University, Brock’s background in History and Global Studies, coupled with his experiences in Guatemala and Germany, have enriched our diplomatic efforts. His passion for international relations and his theatrical flair (he recently played Richard III in The Attic Theatre’s production) continue to add a dynamic presence to our team.
• Cassidy Davis returns as our Global Programming Associate. A Butler University student pursuing a degree in Political Science, International Studies, and Spanish, Cassidy’s time abroad in Barcelona and her volunteer work in Brown County have made her an invaluable asset. Her diverse experiences, including a stint as a production assistant in Hollywood, bring a creative edge to our programming initiatives.
• Tess Milton rejoins us as an International Relocations intern. Holding degrees in Neuroscience and Spanish from Indiana University Bloomington, Tess’s work with Exodus Refugee Immigration and her time studying in Madrid have deepened our understanding of the challenges and opportunities in global relocation. Her academic rigor and compassionate approach continue to inspire us.
• Yujin Seong is back as our Korea Project Coordinator. A junior at Indiana University Indianapolis, majoring in Business Management and International Studies, Yujin’s leadership in Model UN and German Club, along with her JROTC Color Guard Medal, have fortified our Korea-related initiatives. Her linguistic skills and cultural insights are vital to our work.

New Faces: Fresh Perspectives

Joining our seasoned interns are several new members, each bringing fresh perspectives and a wealth of knowledge:

• Anna Pies joins us in International Programming. As an Indiana University Bloomington student with a degree in International Studies and fluency in Spanish and Mandarin, Anna’s global experiences in Spain and China will enhance our programming efforts.
• Isabella Reske comes on board in International Diplomacy. A junior at Butler University, majoring in International Studies and Languages, Isabella’s expertise in Portuguese and French and her marketing background will be pivotal in our diplomatic endeavors.
• Lisa Clark joins our Community Development & Philanthropy team. As a senior at Indiana University Indianapolis, majoring in Philanthropic Studies and Spanish, Lisa’s previous nonprofit experience and academic excellence will help us drive impactful community initiatives.
• Matthew Diederich steps into the role of Information Systems & CRM Management intern. A senior at Butler University, majoring in Applied Business Technology & Marketing, Matthew’s leadership experience and entrepreneurial spirit will support our technological advancements.
• Max Wilhelm joins us in Accounting, Finance & Operations. A senior at Butler University, majoring in Accounting & Finance, Max’s academic achievements will strengthen our operational efficiency; not to mention, he is also a member of the Butler Track and Field Team!
• Morgan DeRose brings her expertise to Nonprofit Management. A JD candidate at Indiana University McKinney School of Law, with a BA in Communication Studies/Public Policy from Albion College, Morgan’s legal insights and communication skills will be essential to our nonprofit strategy.
• Rebekah Kinworthy takes on the role of Marketing & Communications intern. A senior at Butler University, majoring in Marketing & International Business, Rebekah’s entrepreneurial background and experience working in Tokyo will help us amplify our message.

Looking Ahead

As we embark on this new season, we are excited to see how each intern will contribute to The International Center’s mission. Whether they are continuing a journey with us or just beginning, we know that their combined talents will drive our success and impact.

“The International Center is where I learned the highest level of business ethics, responsibility, and communication skills, making it the perfect place to launch my professional career. I was able to explore my interests and potential by experiencing the vast amounts of opportunities I was given.” -Yujin Seong, Spring 2024, International Business Development, Research Analysis & Consulting Intern

We are grateful for their dedication and look forward to the innovative ideas and fresh perspectives they will bring to our work this fall. Together, we will continue to build bridges, foster understanding, and promote a globally connected Indiana.
