This summer, eight Laurentians are spending the summer interning in Bangkok, Thailand, funded through the Freeman Foundation SLU ASIA Internship Program.
Sisco Tellez ’25 is interning with Galaxy Kids, an educational technology firm, as a business development associate. “This program is one of the most valuable experiences I can go through because it not only allows me to be part of an incredible work team and learn about the work environment in an office, but it also allows me to learn to live by myself, explore a different and beautiful culture, and adapt to a city unknown to me. Which, in the long term, will improve my resilience and skills in any aspect of life, like funding management, organization, and responsibility.”
