5 Students from the University of IOWA undertook online
th th internships at VIIS from 25 May to 8 July 2021.
Webinars on wide ranging topics on Health, Education,
Indian Culture & Heritage and Yoga by the faculty at
SVYM added significant value to the contextual
understanding of the students.
This internship has taught me new skills that I otherwise may not have picked up. I have learned how to make a data set from a large sum of participants, conduct quantitative data analysis (statistical and descriptive), and propose a research paper from my findings.
