Verite; Amherst, MA

Primary Responsibilities;
-research of any kind
-work on various reports
-country reports
-commodities research
-communications projects
There were no real changes over the course of the placement.

The overall experience was very good at the field placement and i recommend other students take part in this. i have gained excellent research skills that i can now apply to my academic work. In addition, the work i did was very insightful and interesting.

If I could change anything about this placement I would have liked more interaction with Verite staff.

My advice for other students is: Don't stop looking Until you find something for you. It can get discouraging, but you must be persistent
