Federal Semester information for GVPT students

Want college credit for a Washington internship?  Interested in 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: Health Policy, Energy/Environment Policy, Foreign Policy, and Homeland Security Policy.  They then work a spring-semester internship in federal agencies, congressional offices, think-tanks, or other policy-related organizations.  Federal Semester students have interned in such agencies as the Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Institutes of Health, the Environmental Protection Agency, and many, many more.  Year-round program 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).  
Rolling admissions; for best consideration, apply by: Monday, May 7.
