Student Engagement

gui2de engages both undergraduate and graduate students from across disciplines. Our students, from all corners of the world, draw on a broad and diverse range of perspectives in advance of a shared goal: to couple cutting edge analytical tools with deep contextual understanding to address complex economic, social, and environmental problems.

Primed with the skills acquired in gui2de’s Research Methods classes, offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, students can then get hands-on experience, working side-by-side with faculty affiliates as Research Assistants during the academic semesters, and as Summer Interns through two-month in-country placements. 

Since 2012, over 75 gui2de students have participated in our transformative, immersive summer experience, in countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, India, and the Philippines.

Listen to students sharing their experiences with gui2de in the field and at Georgetown in this video.
