Happy Monday!
Our Interns have been busy with #brownbag meetings!
@George_Withers, former board member @WOLA_org shared his experience in the Vietnam War as an aircrew member and his journey of standing up and speaking out against the war. His story is truly inspirational!
As we wrap up our internships, @WOLA_org interns want to thank the amazing staff we've worked alongside who have provided us with such incredible opportunities & experiences (and these mugs)! Stay tuned to hear how interns & their supervisors have inspired each other!
