Congratulations to Issac Olson who was accepted for an internship with the National Council on US-Arab Relations. This is a highly competitive internship in DC:
"Professional workplace experience: Interns are placed with one of over a dozen Near East and Arab world related organizations in Washington, D.C., where they are expected to work 35-40 hours/week under the direct supervision of their host organizations.
Academic seminars: Interns take part in twice weekly seminar sessions designed to provide them with greater depth of knowledge about the Arab world, to underscore the cultural, economic, and political diversity of Arab states, and to explore the intricacies of Arab-U.S. relations.
Site visits: Interns are offered a behind-the-scenes look at many of the central institutions of federal government, national security policymaking, international diplomacy, and international business."
This is our second placement with NCUSAR in as many years (Kammi Sheeler '11 also did a summer there), and was first brought to our attention by Linz Heppe Wright '07 who works at the Middle East Policy Council. Alum networks rule--
