MCI Student Exchange Program Revitalized

After a hiatus of several years, MCI's popular student exchange program makes a comeback. Now through a US Embassy program MCI sent Lynnyth Valera Aguilar

to work in a law office for the summer.

The MCI Cultural Student Exchange program is designed with the following objectives:

• To supplement the student's theoretical knowledge with a practical work experience.

• To provide opportunities to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills by being engaged in real life work situations.

• To develop skills and an understanding of the workplace to assist in the transition from academia to workplaces after graduation.

• To learn to work well with customers or clients and other office employees as well as to represent the workplace well in the public; in the case of medical institutions, to learn to work with patients, other nurses, physicians, families, and other health care team members to give patient-centered care.

• To broaden the student's experience by exposure to a workplace in another culture, such as clinical experience in another culture.
