Ali_Nishreen_W11_3Gain new international perspectives by spending a leave-term living and working abroad as a Dickey International Intern. Whatever your focus of study, it will be enriched when re-examined through an international lens.

About

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 ideally 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.  Returning interns agree to participate as requested in workshops or informational sessions relating to internships in general.
