Internship Opportunities

 

Interested in interning in Washington DC this summer? Want to work for your congressperson? If you already have a summer internship in DC or are actively pursuing one, here's an added opportunity for IAFS students! The Truman National Security Project is offering a “Security Springboard” for summer interns in DC. Please note: this is an extra opportunity is for students who are already in DC for internships -- this is not an internship itself. The Security Springboard program includes five one-hour, lunch-time sessions to be held once a week during summer 2009. See the Truman website for more information and download the flyer/application here. If you need help getting started with your search for a summer internship in DC, contact internship director Vicki Hunter, ashv@colorado.edu.

 

Internship application

The IAFS program offers an internship class during the spring and summer that grants credit for international work with a variety of organizations here and abroad. To be enrolled in the IAFS internship class, complete our application and deliver it to the IAFS office, CLUB A5, addressed to Vicki Hunter.

NOTE: For the summer 2009 internship class, the deadline to apply is the last day of spring 2009 classes.

If you think you may want to take the IAFS internship class, be sure to attend the pre-registration period information meetings announced on the website and via advisor email. Even if you do not have an internship yet, attend an internship information meeting with the internship director, Vicki Hunter. The meeting is important to understanding the requirements of the class, for when you do find an internship!
