Faculty-Led Programs with Nonprofits

At Roots, we are passionate about creating academic experiences around the world that are both highly valuable for students and impactful on the ground. Apart from hosting individual students on internships and research programs, we also facilitate faculty-led programs with our various partners. These programs are fully customized to meet the desired focus areas and learning outcomes of each group. With all faculty-led programs, we strive for a healthy balance between theory and practice, we ensure meaningful cultural exchange, and we offer expert guidance on the ground.
