Come learn about internships in Washington, D.C. and two-week seminar programs scheduled for the Democratic and Republican National Conventions this summer.
A representative of The Washington Center will be in the Career Center (1st Floor, Duke Building) at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 10, to discuss these exciting programs.
The Washington, D.C. internships are available during Fall and Spring semesters and the Summer Session. Elon awards 16 hours during the semester and 13 hours during the summer for internships in the executive and legislative branches of government, the media, interest groups, law firms and many other organizations. The Washington Center will find internship spots and provide housing. Dozens of Elon students have found their D.C. internships to be wonderful learning opportunities.
The convention seminars will occur at the Democratic and Republican National Conventions this summer. Every four years the parties nominate their presidential candidates at four-day conventions that are terrific laboratories for the study of politics and the media. The Washington Center conducts two-week seminars that include fieldwork during the convention week with a political party, a candidate, both print and electronic press, interest groups, and the host committees. The Democratic program is the last two weeks of July in Boston, and the Republican program starts the last week in August — and goes into Elon’s first week of classes — in New York City. Program, housing and four hours of Elon credit cost $4,000 for each seminar. Elon students have attended these seminars during the last three presidential election cycles.
Please come by the Career Center at 4 p.m. Tuesday and learn more.
