Give her (civil) liberties
Economics and sociology senior Caroline Williams recently interned with the Nationwide Development Resources team of the American Civil Liberties Union. The experience aligned perfectly with her longstanding interest in public policy and social issues. In addition, Williams said, it "opened my eyes to the possibility of a career in development or nonprofit work. I had been considering many different career paths, but truly enjoying my work showed me that this may be a great fit."
