ASP Internship Description

The Office of International Education is currently seeking 2 mature, hardworking, and culturally sensitive interns to work during July 10--August 9th. During that time VCU will host 35 students from Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) and Fudan University in Shanghai. The "American Studies Program" is a month-long program intended to offer these students insight into American culture and education. The students are attending daily lectures offered by VCU professors on a variety of topics such as American political science, history, mass communications, homeland security, literature, business and more. They are also attending day trips to the surrounding area including Monticello, Williamsburg and Bush Gardens. Two overnight trips are planned as well, which are: Washington, DC and New York. The interns will accompany the students on all these trips, as well as participate in daily on-campus activities with the students. Because this is a one month internship, it can be intense, so students are encouraged not to work during this time so that the internship can be their first priority. As compensation, students will receive free travel arrangements during the weekend and daily excursions, and housing will be provided for the overnight stays. A modest stipend will also be offered to the interns. This is a wonderful opportunity to fulfill your internship requirements while experiencing another culture and engaging in fun activities. Please read the internship requirements attached.

If you are interested, please email your resume, letter of interest/cover letter, and two professional references to Julia Borland at borlandje@vcu.edu no later than May 15th. Applications will be reviewed as they are submitted, and interviews planned accordingly. Only two spots are available, therefore, you are encouraged to apply early!
