Sounds like a great opportunity! There are other opportunities for South Asian Women. I am an INROADS Intern. INROADS develops and places talented minority youth into PAID internships with the nation's largest companies. If you are majoring in Accounting, Computer Science, and Engineering, apply online today at www.INROADS.org.
I have loved my time with INROADS. Not only does the program develop you professionally but you also get to meet lots of great friends!!
