Red Cross Professionals in Action
From alum Melissa Hopkins '04:
We have started a new and exclusive initiative for young professionals at the American Red Cross Serving King & Kitsap Counties. It is called Professionals in Action (PiA) and it strives to cultivate tomorrow’s leaders by leveraging the energy and enthusiasm of young professionals (ages 24 – 40) in the greater Seattle area.
It provides members with creative and flexible opportunities to have an impact on their world while providing personal and professional growth through networking in the community with others who are near their first decade of their career and also share a passion for community involvement.
PiA is giving $100 in start-up money for teams of young professionals to hold an auction, throw a dinner party, run a race or fundraise in the best way you know how. The campaign is called Up the Ante, and the teams that raise the most money can win awesome prizes like a vacation through Doug Fox Travel & Cruise, a brand new Dolphin E sea kayak or two airline tickets to wherever Alaska Airlines flies…and much more! We’re looking for the types of young professionals who have the capacity to turn their $100 start up funds into $500 or even $1,000. This campaign runs between May 1 and May 31.
This is an easy way to make a difference! Attached are the invitation and more event specific information. If you’re interested or want more info to bring this idea to a group for consideration, please email or give me a call.
I thank you for your time and look forward to your response. Make it a great day.

Absolutely incredible job opportunities in DC
Is that enough hyperbole for you? From Kari Manlove '06:
I just thought I'd send you an e-mail to point out two of the entry-level job openings here at CAP (with graduation in a few weeks...). Both are related to national security and positions I would consider pretty solid for first jobs. They are:
Assistant to U.S. Editor, Middle East Bulletin and Assistant to Advisors/Senior Fellows - If interested in Middle East affairs, this'll be exceptional exposure to that policy niche (and people) in DC and include some opportunities to write and research. It's a small staff that works closely with associated think tanks, like CAP, The Century Foundation, and probably other similar groups abroad. The job is an assistant position, so it's administrative, requires good organization and management of interns, etc., but it's also a small enough group right now that it could be really substantive and be a truly high-quality stepping stone into Middle East policy.
Special Assistant for National Security - This position is to our National Security department in general. It's a very administrative position, but it's in a policy department, so you make good relations and have the opportunity to be involved in research and writing if you take the initiative and make the time (without neglecting other responsibilities). It's also a good springboard into the field, and they're looking for someone particularly interested in assisting research/staff on affairs in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and terrorism... so anyone out of Terrorism & Globalization could be great! (And I know they're eager to hire on this one, as the current assistant is attempting to work this job and her promotion.)
That's really about all I have info-wise, but I'm happy to answer questions, and I hope there's some folks out there interested. This is a really exciting time to be in DC, and this is without a doubt an influential organization in all sorts of policy dialogues.
Hope all is well... kari.

Internship Fair tonight!
From PG major Liz Kaster:
The internship class is having a open house showcase to talk about our internships tonight from 6-7 in the Rotunda. There will be at least 3 PG majors there and some really interesting opportunities highlighted. More info is on the CES site: http://www.ups.edu/x12821.xml. It'd be great place to get some ideas for what's available for any students looking for an internship, plus it'll be boring if nobody comes.

NYC: Islam, education and the UPS PG connection
From the New York Times, "Critics Cost Muslim Educator Her Dream School". The connection is that the school was set up with the help of New Visions for Public Schools in NYC, where Megan Buscho '06 works as a policy associate. Last summer Megan and I had lunch and she spoke about this controversy. Read the whole thing here.
Congulations to our Summer Scholars!
The department congratulates Torey Holderith and Garrett Heilman, both of whom have been awarded summer research scholarships from the university in the amount of $3000. Garrett will be working under Professor Weinberger on the topic "Iranian Proliferation in the Context of an Evolving Transatlantic Relationship," while Torey Holderith will be working under Professor O'Neil on the topic "Using the Market to Build the State: Reversing Contemporary State-Building Logic in Iraq."
In addition, Professor Share will be supervising a third Summer Scholar, Kyla Roberts (Foreign Languages), on the research topic "The Economic Effects of Raul Castro's New Government in Cuba".
These are highly competitive awards, so the department is pleased that our majors have done so well. We look forward to working with them and learning about their findings in the fall.
