Where 'yes' is indicated, an intern was placed at that site for the semester indicated.  Where a line is listed next to a semester, that means the grant coordinators have not yet received an application for that semester of the grant. 

*Please notify Dr. Ybanez-Llorente at  kybanez@txstate.edu as you accept placement and plan to apply for the grant.
