OVERVIEW:
The Dickey Center provides
opportunities for students to broaden their international perspectives, and
their understanding of different cultures, by carrying out leave-term projects
abroad. The ideal Dickey International Internship will enrich some aspect of
your on-campus academic work. An international internship should also develop
your ability to communicate comfortably with persons from other cultures, and to
understand the processes for addressing international issues that confront
nations. Students should be familiar with the language of the country in which
they wish to intern.
Applicants must be returning to
campus for at least one term after completing the internship. Internship
recipients are required to write a 3-5 page summary when their project has been
completed, to be kept on file in the Center offices. These reports may be
posted on the website and will be made available to other students looking for
internship ideas. Returning interns agree to participate as requested in
workshops or informational sessions relating to internships in
general.
