New Spring 2010 interns Mark Choy (Hunter College) and Maro Kim (NYU) joined returning intern Hyein Lee (NYU) to help with base building efforts for the Peace Treaty Campaign.

Currently, the interns are working on several projects including workshops for the East Coast Asian American Student Union (ECAASU) at University Pennsylvania; a presentation at the Bluestockings Bookstore; and revamping the Peace Treaty blog. The interns and supervisors are excited about launching the blog on Friday March 5 and updating it with stimulating media! Please check out http://peacetreaty.wordpress.com for interesting stories and to follow our countdown posts (every Friday) until the 60th anniversary since the outbreak of the Korean War.

More About the Interns:

Hyein Lee is an international student from South Korea studying at New York University. With graduation looming around the corner, she is trying to hatch a plan to remain in the U.S. Hyein became committed to the Peace Treaty Campaign because she believes the Korean peninsula needs to break free from the residues of the Cold War.

Ma Ro Kim is a senior undergraduate student at New York University whose concentration of study includes politics, economics, and international relations. She is currently an intern at Nodutdol, assisting and participating in the Peace Treaty Campaign and various other activities to promote peace and justice in Korea.

Mark Choy is a Hunter College attendee whose area of concentration includes English-Creative Writing and Urban Studies. As a true philospoher, his interest in Nodutdol's internship program came about through the area of public policy and through seeking to understand cultures wholely and the effect that war plays upon them.
