Washington Undergraduate Semester: Internships

Finding a good internship is like finding a good job -- you need to start early and work at it. The Maxwell School will provide you with the guidance you need to make the most of your time in Washington. The International Relations Program maintains a database with hundreds of exciting internships in the Washington area. For assistance, contact the IR Global Programs Coordinator, whether you're interested in general internship guidelines, or in the requirements for an internship for the International Relations program. In addition, the Global Programs Coordinator offers students resume and cover letter advice, a job search library, and access to many of the SU alumni who work in the Washington area. From Washington, Professor Schneider pursues leads, offers assistance, and describes what various organizations do and where they are located.

Fall 2008 IR Washington Program Team 

 This fall is an exciting time to be in Washington, DC; with lots of important issues and heated debates, not to mention the upcoming presidential election, these next couple of months will prove to be an influential time in our nation's history.  The internship opportunities afforded to this cohort will also play a role in steering the course of these students' lives. 

Each semester Syracuse University brings a small group of competitively selected undergraduates to Washington to participate in our Washington International Program. We are pleased to announce that the following students have competed successfully for admission to our fall 2008 IR Washington Semester Program. They will each serve in a demanding internship, take a full slate of courses in global trade, global economy, global policy, and a traveling seminar around the city of Washington to introduce them to the ways in which international policy and US foreign policy is made.
