We received hundreds of applications again this year for nine paid summer RealArts@PENN internships. Below is a list of the students who have been appointed as RealArts interns for 2014.

I want to thank Mingo Reynolds and R.J. Bernocco, who coordinate RealArts; and Anthony DeCurtis, Director of RealArts and creator of the series of RealArts events and symposia at the Kelly Writers House, co-sponsored by Creative Ventures. We also wish to thank Dirk Wittenborn, Paul & Ossi Burger, & Alan Berger for their support of RealArts.
