This is an eight week summer session residency internship in Washington, D.C. with a focus on American government and politics. Students apply through their College faculty liaison to the CUNY Edward T. Rogowsky Internship Program for acceptance and a stipend award. Accepted students are placed with a federal agency, U.S. representative or senator, or a recognized and relevant nonprofit organization. Students work for 35 hours per week in their placement, complete written and research assignments and participate in related academic activities as designated by the Rogowsky Program and approved by the John Jay College Government Department faculty sponsor. Application for this program is extremely competitive; acceptance is not guaranteed.
