Reminder!
Please join us for an orientation session about Baruch College’s Colin Powell Undergraduate Fellowship in International Diplomacy. The session will take place on Thursday, October 11th from 1-2 pm. Jeffrey Peck, Dean of the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences and Vice Provost for Global Strategies, will discuss the program and the opportunities it offers Baruch undergraduate students.
The orientation session will take place in the Newman Vertical Campus, 8th floor, Dean’s conference room, B8-262.
The Colin Powell Fellowship Program in International Diplomacy is a summer internship program for two Baruch undergraduate students with a strong interest in serving the United States by working for the U.S. Department of State. It is hoped that this opportunity will lead students to pursue a career in international diplomacy.
The internships are located either in Washington, D.C. at State Department headquarters, in New York City at the United States Mission to the United Nations or at a U.S. embassy overseas. The internships last from six to eight weeks. Although these internships are unpaid, Baruch College will provide a stipend depending on the duration of service ranging from $3,000-4,000.
If you are a U.S. citizen, a full-time student at Baruch with junior or senior status and will be returning to Baruch after the internship to complete your degree, have demonstrated an interest in international relations, diplomacy, history, economics, finance, business, other countries and cultures, and have a grade point average of 3.4 or above, you are eligible to apply for the Colin Powell Fellowship. In addition to these requirements, a student must be able to obtain a U.S. Department of State security clearance. The student must be able to maintain the security clearance throughout the duration of their internship. Finalists will be interviewed by a committee that includes Dean Jeffrey Peck and Weissman Center Director, Professor Terrence Martell as well as individuals who have held senior positions in the State Department.
All application materials must be received by the Weissman Center for International Business, Baruch College
