Spring Students Making a Difference

January 24, 2024

At Lung Cancer Initiative, our student volunteers are critical to carrying out our mission. We offer internships three times a year, spring, summer, and fall. Internships available include public health, marketing and communications, and special events. This spring, we are excited to welcome two undergraduate interns and one graduate intern who are already making an impact at LCI. Meet our amazing student volunteers and continue reading to learn more about how they are furthering their education through their work at LCI.

Jennifer Tran- Public Health Intern

Jennifer is a Public Health student at East Carolina University. Her public health interest is in disease prevention, so she is excited to get the opportunity to educate others about lung cancer and the resources/programs that LCI offers, such as the Gas Card program – which she helps manage! Her other interests include spending time with friends and family, road-tripping, and volunteering.
