Matching donations from an anonymous member of the Board of Trustees and the University will fund 14 internships supporting humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza this summer, with contributions from fellow trustees.
The $200,000 initiative, part of the University’s Humanitarian Internship Program, will pay for ten students to work at World Central Kitchen’s D.C. office and four in its Jordan location — barring security constraints — where they will support the organization’s operations and coordinate the distribution of food and humanitarian supplies bound for Gaza. A gift to the Humanitarian Internship Program from an anonymous trustee is supporting the fund, which the University is matching and other Board members are helping supplement, according to a Thursday release.
