Graduate Internship in International Affairs Summer Program
One of the major
successes of the IGCC Washington office is the
Graduate
Internship Summer Program
in Washington, D.C. The interdisciplinary program
is open to graduate
students with interests
in international affairs. Over the past ten
years, students have been placed at
such diverse organizations as the World Bank, the Overseas Private
Investment Corporation, the Asia Foundation,
Human Rights Watch, Women, Law, and Development
International, the Congressional Research
Service, Physicians for Social Responsibility,
World Resources Institute,
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, and the International Human Rights Law Group/Cambodia
Project.
Graduate student interns in master's, J.D., M.D., or professional
degree programs gain valuable practical experience, preparation, and contacts
for
future career opportunities working in the city where U.S. foreign
policy is made. Similarly, graduate students in the early stages of doctoral
programs gain
valuable experience and have an opportunity to refine their research
interests.
