Federal Semester Program for GVPT students

Want college credit for a Washington internship?  Interested in U.S. foreign policy, and/or public policy?  Intrigued by the idea of a career in public service?  Apply now to the Federal Semester Program for 2012-2013! 

In this selective year-long program, students take a fall-semester seminar in one of four policy-focused concentrations and work a spring-semester internship in federal agencies, congressional offices, think-tanks, and other policy-related organizations. Students in the Foreign Policy concentration intern at such agencies and organizations as Department of State, USAID, the Middle East Institute, the Center for American Progress, and various congressional offices.  Year-round activities include trips to Capitol Hill and federal agencies, professional development workshops, and conversations with policymakers. 

For details and application form, go to www.federalsemester.umd.edu. Contacts: federalsemester@umd.edu ; Dr. Joan Burton, Director (jburton1@umd.edu); Megan Monserez, Coordinator (monserez@umd.edu).  First round of applications due April 5
