Fall 2013, Spring 2014, and Virtual Internships with the U.S. Department of State
Tuesday, February 12, 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Frey Foundation Classroom, 1210 Weill Hall

Interested in combining coursework with an internship in Washington DC or at a U.S. embassy overseas during the Fall 2013 or Spring 2014 semester?  Not able to be away from campus during the 2013-2014 academic year, but interested in a part-time virtual internship that links you to an office in Washington or a U.S. embassy or consulate overseas? 
 
If so, be sure to attend this session with Diplomat in Residence Jim Ellickson-Brown, who will review the application process for the U.S. Department of State Student Internship Program. Also present will be a panel of University of Michigan students who will discuss their experience as interns with the Department of State as well as strategies for developing a competitive application and managing part-time studies together with an internship.  
 
During the session, Mr. Ellickson-Brown will also discuss the Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS) program, which provides students an opportunity to work with an office in Washington or U.S. diplomatic mission overseas on a specific project on a part-time basis throughout the school year. 
 
Interested students are also encouraged to contact Mr. Ellickson-Brown directly at ellickso@umich.edu for more information and assistance in applying for these opportunities. Deadline for applying for Fall 2013 internships is March 1. This program is open to all U-M students. Sponsored by the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.
