From Kyiv to New York: AUK interns share their expectations

What does it feel like to realize you're about to begin an internship in the U.S.? For our 2026 AUK Global Internship Program participants, it's a mix of excitement, anticipation, responsibility, and pride.

Before they leave, we asked them about:

•  their first reaction to the news;
• what they're looking forward to most;
• what it means to represent Ukraine abroad;
• which Ukrainian word they'll teach their colleagues;
• and the soundtrack of this unforgettable journey.

Meet our AUK interns 2026:

• Angelina Marusych, BBA 2027 (Kyiv)
• Viktoriia Potomska, BGM 2027 (Kyiv)
