Deadlines RIGHT after Thanksgiving | Cultural Vistas Internship Programs

Please read this email from Peggy Wunderwald-Jensen, the Cultural Vistas Midwest Representative, if you are applying to internship programs in Germany 2014 or to the IAESTE International Internship Program 2014.



The application deadlines for the Summer Internship Program in Germany (Dec 2), Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange in Germany (Dec 1), EMGIP Germany (Dec 1) and IAESTE International (Dec 1) are coming up on Sunday and Monday after Thanksgiving. Please make sure that you submit your online application in time. Keep in mind that technical problems can always occur, so don't wait until the last minute!



I know that many of you are already working on the application. If you have not started yet, you should do that NOW, because all applications require documents that you need to get from somewhere/someone else (e.g. official transcript, recommendation letter(s), certificate of enrollments, etc. – please check the application list for each program for details).



I will have office hours next week to answer questions and help with your application:



Monday, 11/25 12-4pm
