2024 Summer Interns

Hi, I'm Prince Ndayegamiye, a rising junior at Siena College studying marketing. I'm a summer intern at the Laudato Si Center for Integral Ecology. I'm from Guilderland, NY, but I was born in Congo, where the hardships are significant. People in Congo are dealing with major concerns such as territorial conflicts and the effects of climate change, which have contributed to rising poverty and slowed economic progress. This internship at the Laudato Si' Center allows me to learn about these important issues while making a meaningful contribution, promoting sustainability and climate justice on our campus and beyond.

 

Hi, I'm Anuk Siyambalapitiya, a rising senior at Siena College majoring in Economics with a concentration in Entrepreneurship and a minor in Mathematics. I am an international student from Sri Lanka and I will be a summer intern at the Laudato Si' Center for Integral Ecology. Sri Lanka is an extremely biodiverse nation with a lot of appreciation for our natural habitat however we have struggled with challenges due to climate change and environmental negligence. This internship will help me to identify and understand the different problems our environment faces and work towards becoming an advocate of sustainability as a student of the Siena community as well as a citizen of the world.
