Internship and Living Abroad Program in
the Dominican Republic

The Internship and Living Abroad Program in the Dominican Republic began in 1990 and was the first ILAP program established by the L.T. Jordan Institute.  Since that time, over 90 Aggies have lived, worked, and played in this beautiful country.

Every summer, students head for Santo Domingo for five life-changing weeks...

Michael Moshue Hicks, an English and Spanish major from the class of 1991, interned with the Education and Training Department at Codatel (the Dominican Republic Telephone Company, a division of GTE) through this program:

"...I have made lifelong friends who will also influence the direction my life takes in years ahead."

Lance Harris, a General Studies major in the class of 1993 interned with the Association for the Development of Santiago, Dominican Republic:

"...The whole experience is such an eye-opener; expanding many areas of a person's knowledge - about the language, the people, the culture, the country and its physical geographies; dealing with differences...a person matures and learns about her/himself."

The relationships made with the host families often turn into lasting friendships and can be one of the most rewarding aspects of the program. Past participants have received much experience in banks, hospitals, television stations, construction companies, engineering firms, universities, the local phone company Codetel, and many other locations.

Outside of work, the ILAP participants visit places that mark the beginning of the New World, beautiful beaches and waterfalls, and a variety of other interesting attractions.
