GLENN SCHOOL WASHINGTON

ACADEMIC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM (WAIP)

Alex Polivka

http://glennschool.osu.edu/programs/washington/index.html

Why WAIP? The John Glenn School of Public Affairs offers an

exciting opportunity for Ohio State students to study and work in the nation's capital.

The Washington Academic Internship Program selects outstanding undergraduates from any major to spend a quarter in Washington, D.C., as John Glenn Fellows.

Students work in field placements that reflect their particular areas of academic interest.

What do I get from WAIP?

While in Washington, John Glenn Fellows remain fully registered Ohio State students.

Students earn 3 classes worth of academic credit hours for their internship, the research seminar in which a policy paper is developed, and a course on policymaking and public service in the Washington community.

Glenn Fellows meet policy professionals and interact with Ohio State alumni in the region. These interactions have value far beyond the quarter in which Fellows are involved in the program.

Where would I work?Recent Internship Sites include:

Office of the Speaker of the House, John Boehner Office of Senator Sherrod Brown US Supreme Court- Office of the Curator The Center for American Progress The American Cancer Society TIME magazine Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Institute for International Education The Environmental Protection Agency American Farm
