Congrats to Casey Krolczyk, National Council on US-Arab Relations Internship

Congratulations to PG minor Casey Krolczyk, who was awarded an internship at the National Council on US-Arab Relations--a highly competitive program in DC. http://www.ncusar.org/internship
 The internship includes the following (excerpt from Council site):
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 the third year in a row we've had a Puget Sound student at NCUSAR, which came to our attention originally through the efforts of a PG alum currently with the State Department.  If you are a strong student with an interest in the Middle East, consider applying for next year--talk to Professor O'Neil--
