While most of my colleagues and friends were looking for internship opportunities around various places in Oklahoma and beyond, I greatly valued the wonderful opportunity that the Family Resource Center provides right here on campus where I could serve my local community and fellow residents. I saw this also as an opportunity to thank the FRC and FGSH facilities for their meticulous efforts to provide comfortable housing for the residents and also not just keep them engaged but also providing great resources to learn.

        As an international student, I personally know how tough it can be in a foreign land and so through this internship opportunity, I was able to understand the cultural differences and difficulties residents face much better. As a Global Studies scholar, this was a great opportunity for me to face real-world issues and bring a solution to address the needs and gaps among residents.
