We have been fortunate to get some great interns through @thefoundrylnk - including Nayla Torres Ruiz, to whom we said goodbye this morning. Nayla was extremely helpful with our Nebraska Forum on Global Issued program this spring. She’s leaving us with solid materials that will help us introduce this valuable program to more high schoolers in the future.
