Steans Center Internship Opportunity for PPS Students

Hello,

My name is Raechel Tiffe and I am the Internship and Scholarship coordinator for The Steans Center at DePaul. I am currently seeking applicants for the McCormick Tribune Internship, and I feel that Public Policy Studies students would be a great fit.

The McCormick Tribune internship is conceived as the capstone experience in an undergraduate’s service experience for students with a strong interest in not for profit, community and social justice work. This internship is reserved for our best and brightest DePaul senior undergraduates who have exhibited a commitment to service and academic excellence, and can include students from all disciplines and departments at DePaul.

The intern will spend one quarter in a placement within a community setting that is structured to utilize their individual talents, experiences and academic expertise. The internship will be focused on project-based work, culminating with the generation of a final product (e.g., a report for a community organization). At the end of the quarter, McCormick interns will present their project as a capstone to their internship experiences. This project will be evaluated by a committee of DePaul faculty, staff, and community representatives. Each intern will paid $1,200 during the internship experience.

The three best McCormick intern projects will then be publicly presented by the interns at an annual gathering of McCormick Tribune Interns, Community Service Scholars, current students involved in community service, faculty, staff and community representatives.

If it's possible, we'd love you to forward this on to your listserves, department members, and maybe even link it to the Internship section on your website.

Thank you,
Raechel Tiffe
