Marlén Miranda ’20 has received a U.S. Student Fulbright Binational Internship Grant for Mexico.
Miranda’s grant supports internships in Mexican and multinational companies. According to Fulbright, grantees are placed in businesses and will take courses related to international business at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo, a private university in Mexico. Miranda will study how to create mutual understandings between the private sectors of Mexico and the United States.
“Being Mexican and American has taught me how critical it is to form positive binational relationships,” said Miranda, who double majored in political science and human rights. “I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and have resided in San Diego, California, for more than half of my life.”
Because of the COVID-2019 pandemic, Miranda’s internship is expected to begin in spring 2021. Following her time in Mexico, she plans to attend graduate or law school and pursue a career in public service
