Program summary

Since 2010, FSI has sent a group of Stanford University undergraduate students to the Lake Atitlán region in the Guatemalan highlands for an intensive field research internship. The students are mentored in the field by FSI faculty members Paul H. Wise and Beatriz Magaloni. The group is joined by members of a visiting medical team and health partners on the ground in Guatemala.

The program is designed to engage students in collaborative research that:
  • introduces undergraduates to issues of global chronic underdevelopment
  • promotes mentoring relationships between FSI faculty and students
  • enables students to contribute to FSI's policy-relevant research
  • fosters collaboration across disciplines at the undergraduate level
  • creates a pipeline of young scholars interested in solving global development problems
  • offers direct exposure to experimental research methodology
