ORGANIZATION: CUNY Edward T. Rogowsky Internship Program in Government and Public Affairs

*Deadline extended until August 4th*

The City University of New York offers a fall internship opportunity in New York City for selected students. The CUNY Women’s Public Service Internship Program will provide highly qualified individuals the opportunity to learn by doing with the offices of selected legislators working to benefit women and promote women’s issues in New York. The focus of internship assignments varies. Community affairs, research, and policy formulation in areas of most concern to women is central. CUNY will provide $2,000 to each eligible student. The Program is coordinated by the Edward T. Rogowsky Internship Program in Government & Public Affairs and designated officers at each CUNY college.

In addition to the first hand experiences they receive with the local offices of legislators, CUNY Women’s Public Service Interns are given academic guidance through enrollment in campus-based seminars with faculty, as well as in special meetings with Internship Program staff.

Women’s Public Service Interns also attend the CUNY Women’s Leadership Conference and other special events sponsored by the University.

Any major may apply, but students who wish to be considered should demonstrate an interest in women’s issues and public policy in New York. Applicants must carry a 3.0 GPA, and must submit the names of two faculty members who will provide confidential recommendations.

Selected participants will earn academic credit, by enrolling in a seminar and internship course on their college campus.
