AUI Presidential Internship Program

Meet the 2025-2026 Presidential Interns! 👏🏽

We’re proud to introduce an amazing, diverse group of ambitious leaders ready to embark on their journey at Al Akhawayn.

Excited to grow, learn, and explore the beauty of greater Morocco, they’re set to make this year unforgettable! 🇲🇦📚

A few of the PIP interns ventured outside of Ifrane last weekend to enjoy the beautiful spring weather and to learn about Moroccan agricultural practices such as olive cultivation. They also had the opportunity to taste some locally produced goat cheeses from a nearby farm.

To see more about what the PIP interns have been up to these past few months (and learn about their work with the Green Campus Initiative), check out their December edition newsletter below.

"In the months that I have been here I have been able to gain more skills than I could have imagined. I think that any international work experience teaches you to adapt quickly and be patient with yourself while you learn about the new world around you."

AUI is proud to offer a place for its international students, faculty, and staff to celebrate their traditions and holidays.

The Presidential Interns gathered last Thursday for a small, socially-distanced Thanksgiving celebration. Over the weekend they kept with the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree and listening to some Christmas tunes after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Check out presidential intern Nathan Lincoln's recent contribution to the AUI student newspaper Chronicle.

Opinion: The US elections, half a world away - Chronicle Late last month, I read a piece in the AUI Chronicle by Sahar Khamoosh that aptly captured one of the pillars of any democracy. The article was titled, “Complaining, our favorite hobby?” and it got me thinking...

The AUI 2020-2021 Presidential Interns have officially published their first newsletter for the year! The November newsletter features articles from all five presidential interns documenting their experience working in Morocco so far. Happy Wednesday!
