When Katelyn (Indiana State University to Ewha Women’s University 2017) discusses her time interning at the Ewha University’s Brain Institute, you can hear the excitement in her voice. “The lab I worked in offered me a full-time position and I miss living there.” Korea is a great place for students with STEM backgrounds like Katelyn to intern. “I’m a biology and psychology major, but I’m also a writing consultant at Indiana state University and a research assistant at Purdue University’s cognitive research lab. And my time in Korea really prepared me to work at my research lab.” Women in Stem careers are under-represented, but Ewha presents a unique opportunity to get science and engineering experience in a foreign country, and as Katelyn’s experience shows, have a valuable internship. As she finishes her degree and considers her options, she considers her time on ISEP’s program to be extremely valuable and she remembers her time fondly: “I would love to go back to Korea.”
