Our interns are up for any challenge in front of them - including working remote to support their teams during the pandemic. @NUFeinbergMed

Staff and students attended Black at @RelativityHQ's (BREL) Black History Month event. BREL provided networking opportunities and a site tour. It was great hearing about Daniel's positive internship experience and seeing Harold, a Class 18 alum and former Relativity intern.
