Development Economics Communications Intern: Summer 2022
IDE Research Assistant: Fall 2021 and Spring 2022
From nourishing my interest in neighbouring social sciences to allowing me to learn from leading academics, the IDE program gave me the chance to experience Yale's rich intellectual life. Outside the classroom, providing research assistance to Professor Rohini Pande reaffirmed my decision to pursue a PhD and showed me how economic research can be penetrating and pluralist." – Valerie Chuangi, Economics PhD candidate at MIT
