Established
in 2000, the Rutgers in Washington Program (RIW) is designed
to enhance the experience of Rutgers students interning
and living in the Washington DC area for the summer. The
program provides a forum for students to meet other interns,
network with prominent Rutgers alumni, and to explore
DC through numerous events. It serves as a resource and
support system to interns, providing professional and
cultural outlets and facilitating social experiences.

| Congressman
Frank Pallone, former White House Press Secretary Ari
Fleischer and Christine T. Whitman, EPA Administrator,
number among the many distinguished speakers to participate
in past RIW events There have been private tours of the
CIA building, professional baseball games, lunches at
the Supreme Court, and social gatherings with interns
from other universities; scheduled events are as diverse
as the desires and interests of the participants!

While
the RIW program does not identify internship opportunities
for students, Career Services can assist you in your
internship search. A great way to get started is to
schedule
an appointment with a counselor at Career Services
to discuss your internship search and career goals.
In addition, the Career Services website has numerous
career
related links that can aid you in the intermship
search process.
|
| Living
in DC can be expensive, but cost alone should not deter
you from this valuable opportunity. If money is tight,
consider interning for 20 hours per week and finding a
part time job for the other 20 hours a week. This
will allow you to earn money while gaining internship
experience. |
