We are delighted to welcome the CASI Class of 2016 to the growing CASI Student Programs Community!
This year’s CASI internship class is 18 strong and we also are proud to announce our 3 Travel Funds for Research Winners. Students hail from four schools at Penn and across various disciplines. It has been a whirlwind of a semester but our students have made it through their finals, completed CASI Orientation, and with visas in hand are ready for India!
Students will be arriving in India throughout the month – keep your eyes peeled for their introductions coming this week!
Congratulations to all of our 2016 winners!
