The Rutgers in Washington Program began in 2000 to enhance
the experience of Rutgers students interning in the DC area.
It provides a forum for interns to meet other interns, network
with alumni, distinguished guests, and explore DC through
numerous events. The program serves as a resource and support
system to interns, while providing them professional, cultural
and social experiences.
Participants
can take advantage of as many programs that suit their
interest and schedule throughout the summer. In past years,
RIW has sponsored events with speakers such as Congressman
Frank Pallone, former White House Press Secretary Ari
Fleischer and Christine T. Whitman, EPA Administrator.
Among other places, program participants have visited
the CIA and USA Today.

While
the RIW program does not identify internship opportunities
for students, Career Services can facilitate the internship
search process for you. 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 your
internship search.

| Many
students assume that they have to intern for their organization
full time (40 hours/week). This is simply not true! 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.
