Welcome letter from IDMA Program Director:

We are three-quarters of the way through the Spring semester which means that IDMA Program graduate interns are deeply engaged in internship activities that include project design and institutional capacity-building for a national signed-spoken language interpreter training initiative (Philippines), organizational capacity-building and leadership (Chile), expanding inclusive development initiatives (Nigeria), Inclusive Education and Inclusive Development initiatives (US), and project monitoring and evaluation (Denmark, with support for project evaluation in Rwanda as well).

In this issue of the MOJO, three student interns--Jarvis Grindstaff, Sonia Holzman, and Olufemi Ige--describe the organizations they are interning with, their roles and responsibilities, as well as the ways that their internship experiences have enriched their professional development in general and deepened their engagement with their specific areas of specialization.

Each graduate intern story represents an extraordinary individual professional practice experience. It also represents the ways that these creative and committed international development workers, researchers, and policy analysts are contributing to (and already changing) the international field to advance the perspectives and talents of the communities they work with. We hope you enjoy this issue of the MOJO!
