The Washington Center is looking for applicants for their summer internship program which begins on 05/28/14 and ends on 08/08/14.
The Washington Center serves students in all majors, with interests in a wide variety of fields. These include the government, nonprofit and business arenas, as well as many others that may partially overlap with them—the worlds of media and communications, science and technology, law and criminal justice, and international affairs. As interns, students will gain valuable experience, insight into possible career paths, a network of professional connections, and direction for their futures.
For a detailed description of and further information about the opportunity and application process students should consult: http://www.twc.edu/internships
Applicants must:
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Have status as a sophomore or above during the term of their internship.
- Maintain a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.75 on a 4.0 scale.
- Receive academic credit from their college or university for their participation in the internship program. (Since graduating seniors are not eligible to receive credit towards their degree, they need not apply.) TWC does not grant credit directly.

- Students applying for the Federal Diversity Internship Initiative must have US citizenship.
- Applicants for other programs need not hold US Citizenship.
