Research Interns

Research interns are volunteers who work closely with the Associate Director on all aspects of the Viet Stories, including maintaining the blog-site, social media, and community and public relations. They also conduct and process interviews in English and Vietnamese, working independently or in teams to help preserve history for the Vietnamese American community. Through their work with Viet Stories, research interns are acquiring the communication, networking, and organizational skills that they will be able to use in many other facets of their professional and social lives.
