LIST OF RESEARCH ASSISTANTS, INTERNS AND VOLUNTEERS
These are bright, highly-motivated students or recent graduates from Massachusetts, New England and the US who took the initiative to contact us, seeking to expand their cultural competency knowledge and skills through involvement in BHLP projects.
In the early years of our program we did not actively promote any internship opportunities. However, due to the popularity of this informal participation and the increasing frequency with which we were contacted, we decided to create a formal BHLP Internship Program in January 2007.
