AUK Welcomes Dartmouth Spring Interns

In mid-March, two students from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, joined the American University of Kuwait (AUK) community. Charlotte Kama'i and Alexis Hill are undergraduate students who are working in various departments as part of an internship program formed through the partnership of the two universities.

Charlotte comes from San Francisco, California, and will graduate from Dartmouth in 2016 with a major in Government and a minor in Arabic. Charlotte's studies in government focus on international relations and politics and she is considering pursuing a career in law after graduation. Charlotte is captain of the women's varsity swim team at Dartmouth, a leader in the Dartmouth Greek community, and a representative in the student government. She also works in the Admissions Office and Government Department. Charlotte is passionate about human rights activism, gender equality and international law and advocacy.

Alexis is from Santa Barbara, California, and will graduate from Dartmouth in 2017 with a double major in Middle Eastern Studies and Studio Art, and she plans to continue her study of Arabic throughout her time in college. At Dartmouth, Alexis is an editor and designer for the college magazine, a tutor in the Spanish department and an intern at Hood Museum of Art in Hanover. Alexis is interested in the intersection of international development, arts and culture, and wants to continue in a creative line of work after graduation.

Charlotte and Alexis will be in Kuwait until the end of May 2015 and are planning a trip to Dubai during their stay. Charlotte is working in the Office of Student Life, the Writing Center and the Library. Alexis is splitting time between the Office of Public Affairs, the Intensive English Program and the Department of Arabic & Foreign Languages.
