From alum Kammi Sheeler (who is about to head off to Bosnia on a Fulbright)--
The World Affairs Council of Seattle is currently seeking applicants for intern positions with the International Visitor Program who would be available to start immediately. Applications for the Fall quarter are officially not due until August 27, but the IVP department is looking to hire people earlier if possible. During normal application cycles IVP receives the most applicants and is very competitive, so this is a great opportunity for interested students to get a bit of an advantage in the application process.
I have been working with this department since April and have found it incredibly interesting, educational, and enjoyable. It has also provided a lot of opportunities for networking with local and international professionals, which has been great. I would highly recommend the position, and would be happy to answer questions or talk to anyone who is considering applying.
They can contact me at kammiksheeler@gmail.com. More information about the department and intern responsibilities can be found at http://www.world-affairs.org/internship-positions. Applications should be submitted in the form of a cover letter and resume to the hiring manager, Margaret Tyson, ASAP. Instructions for applying can be found at http://www.world-affairs.org/internships
