The Harvard Chan Humanitarian Development Student Association (HHDSA) has organized and is hosting a virtual Humanitarian Practicum Panel.

We have three wonderful Harvard graduate student speakers who have completed practicums or theses related to humanitarian health and action. Attendees will hear directly from the speakers about how they found their opportunities, what they accomplished, what they learned, and what advice they have for others. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation and a brief moderated discussion. The intended audience is current students who are potentially interested in, looking for, or entering into internships, practicums, theses, or other applied learning experiences related to humanitarianism. We think this event and content could also be of interest to those looking for jobs in humanitarianism.
