New alumni mentor program supports IPSS practicum students

MIIS IEP Student Connects with MIIS Alumna working with Impossible Foods
IEP ‘21 practicum student, Kelsey Shoup, (shown on the left working from home) interned at the Good Food Institute and connected with alumna Celina Lima IPD/MBA ‘18 at Impossible Foods (shown right in a MIIS 2018 course with Brendan Tarnay IPD ‘17 in Medellín, Colombia) through the IPSS alumni mentor program. 

In response to the global pandemic, MIIS faculty and staff supporting practicum students in the International Professional Service Semester (IPSS) sought additional options to support students completing virtual internships. As a result, the first IPSS alumni mentor program was developed to connect each IPSS fellow with a MIIS alum working in the same field or technical skill area.
