UVSQ students have been interning in science labs at UMass Lowell since 2022. Elkoudi and Carvalho were the first UMass Lowell students to intern at UVSQ, which is located in a southwestern suburb of Paris. “It was an amazing experience,” Elkoudi says. Their journey is part of a larger effort to provide opportunities for students in the Kennedy College of Sciences (KCS) to experience international learning in preparation for today’s global workplaces. Computer science major Wendy Carvalho says the experience she got at her summer internship at France’s University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines will help strengthen her application for graduate school. “Today, your colleagues are not in the next cubicle, but thousands of miles away,” says Foozieh Mir, KCS’s coordinator of undergraduate and international programs. “This experience prepares students for global partnerships.”
