Intern Juan Ramos
Internship Story: Meet Juan Ramos '15
As the Program Development Intern at Latino rights organization PCUN, Juan Ramos (pictured above on the far right) decided what he wanted to do with his future - become a counselor and help people. This became apparent as he interviewed staff members to help them identify and address their major workplace stressors. "This experience allowed me to serve the Latino community while also helping me figure out what I want to do in the coming years," said Ramos. "It reaffirmed my passion for psychology and its ability to serve as a tool for service and social justice."

This is where you come in.
