Michael Currin

Michael was invited to Washington DC to participate in part of the Washington-Ireland Program for Leadership and Service (WIP) and, in this way, begin to explore the possibility of establishing the South Africa-Washington Internship Program (SAWIP). During his undergraduate years in Electromechanical Engineering at the University of Cape Town he was involved, with others, in the development of SAWIP from its initial exploratory phase, through its pilot years to its full establishment. He served as the Manager of the 2007 and 2008 SAWIP Teams, is an honorary SAWIP Alumnus, and now sits on the SAWIP(SA) Board.
