Meet Our Summer 2026 Intern!
Meet our International Programs intern Arthur Lueck, who recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs from the University of Colorado Boulder.
Arthur was drawn to the Global Ties San Francisco internship program because it offers hands-on experience in a field that aligns with his interests and future career goals. He is inspired by the organization’s role in bringing people together through international exchange and fostering global engagement.
“During this internship, I am most looking forward to interacting cross-culturally on an international level as well as engaging with and learning from delegations while improving my communication skills in a real-world setting.”
One of the biggest adventures of Arthur’s life so far was studying abroad in Rome. The experience introduced him to fascinating people around every corner, and his newfound friends brought him on ventures he never would have thought possible. One of his favorite memories was visiting a friend’s hometown in Sicily, where he found himself gathered around a table with 20 Italians who spoke little English — while he also did not speak Italian. Even still, everyone found ways to navigate lively conversation. Experiences like these sparked his desire to continue exploring and learning from different cultures in the years to come.
In his free time, Arthur enjoys skiing, running, surfing, fishing, and anything that gets him outside.
Welcome to the intern team, Arthur!
