FINDING
SUMMER INTERNSHIPS
The Department of Political Science maintains two webpages to help
students find internships and jobs: The department's Blackboard page, "Political Science at Case," which lists specific positions and
opportunities (CWRU userid and password required), and the page you are
currently viewing, which provides recommendations and links to help
students get started with their searches. For further information,
including questions about the Wellman Hill Political Science Internship
Grants, please contact the department's internship coordinator, Prof.
Elliot Posner, elliot.posner@case.edu
or 368-1015.
CWRU RESOURCES: Career Center (http://studentaffairs.case.edu/careers): The department is working closely with the Career Center, which has a wealth of resources to help you find
internships. Career Center staff members are aware of the Wellman Hill
requirement that internships be public-service oriented and can support
all aspects of your internship search, from identifying opportunities to acing the interview. The Career Center offers extensive online resources and a library full of new internship and career-related publications.
