Compensation: Interns will start at $16 per hour. Benefits are not included.

Time Commitment: Paid interns will be expected to work 10-25 hours per week depending on interest
and availability (details will be finalized after a group of interns is selected).

To Apply:
1. Please fill out the internship application through this Google form: https://forms.gle/tcyXy6he83BKetei8, or
2. Email your resume to info@marcelrich.org

The Marc Elrich for County Executive campaign is seeking interns interested in learning about the inner workings of a grassroots campaign through our unique PAID internship program. Interns will learn about and perform various everyday responsibilities of successful campaigns, including voter contact, volunteer recruitment and management, event staffing, data management, political planning, communications, and campaign research. They will also receive training on how to construct a field program and will have opportunities to take on increased responsibility as the campaign progresses. The program will also include an educational component in which experts will speak with interns about various policy and political topics. Interviews will be scheduled on a rolling basis and the internship will run through June 30, 2022 with the possibility to extend into the Fall.

Successful campaigns are disciplined and accountable, and all participants will be expected to behave professionally throughout this program. Interns are expected to show up to shifts on time and with a positive attitude and to be focused on assigned campaign priorities during their shifts. Interns will also be expected to attend weekly staff meetings, and a willingness to work on weekends is required.
Access to a vehicle is a plus but not a requirement (campaign headquarters are located in Rockville near the Twinbrook Metro Station). Paid interns will be expected to sign confidentiality and non-compete form; work for other campaigns through 2022 will require written consent of the campaign.
Paid interns are not expected to volunteer for additional hours when their assigned paid hours are complete.

Time Commitment: Paid interns will be expected to work 10-25 hours per week depending on interest
and availability (details will be finalized after a group of interns is selected).

Compensation: Interns will start at $16 per hour. Benefits are not included.

Proposal Due Date April 6th 

Conference Date April 22nd 

Conference is Fully Online 

Submit Proposal Here: https://forms.gle/48HPv6ST3GsJjxHx7



Undergraduate and junior graduate students are invited to submit proposals to present completed research papers/projects, research in progress or roundtable discussions on any topic related to the general fields of government, international and public affairs. Students from colleges and universities in and around Virginia, as well as national and overseas colleagues, are also invited to submit proposals.


Students who present at the conference (or any research conference) should include this on their academic resumes. When graduate or professional schools consider applicants, they often look for this kind of credit on a CV. Having presented your research as an undergraduate powerfully indicates that you are already doing graduate level work and gives you a competitive advantage over other applicants.
 

Students get the opportunity to present their own ideas, arguments, and evidence to their peers and faculty. This gives a work in progress a preliminary test-run. Students receive comments, advice, and recommendations for further development in the process without having to receive a grade. Often these presentations help students to submit better papers, and occasionally these presentations help turn existing papers into theses or even articles for publication.
 
You are engaging your discipline or research agenda of choice at a high level. This is an intellectually fulfilling opportunity with no chance of risk. Our conference panel chairs are there to help foster discussion and enhance your presentation.

 

 Unlike some professional conferences, this event is not designed to competitively challenge your research findings as much as it is to help you further develop your research interests.

 

Your participation in this conference will likely place you in panels with students from any number of different universities and fields of study. In recent years, we have had participants from a number of international partner universities, dozens of universities from our region, and hundreds of VCU students, making our conference one that is local, state, regional, and international. In 2019, the conference featured students from 20 regional universities and 2 countries. This is a great opportunity for students to engage their ideas with those from all over the field.


The conference is targeted at undergraduate students although we will consider graduate level papers as they fit the panels. We DO NOT REQUIRE completed paper. We will consider works in progress, new ideas you want to develop, old papers you want to present, and most other research possibilities as long as they fit into the following criteria:
 
Papers or ideas should fit into the very broad categories of: Government, Public Policy, and International Affairs. Papers can range from the formal and theoretical to pragmatic policy and issue analysis.

Strong consideration will be given to papers that deal with issues of:
American politics and policy, public administration, sociology and social structures ,international relations and world affairs, human rights, civil rights, criminal justice and public safety, national security, human security, geography and demography health policy, environmental policy, economic policy and political economy, race, class, and gender politics, social justice

However, consideration of many collateral fields can fit our conference including philosophy, education, women's and gender studies, religion, psychology, business, and the life sciences.
 
We hope to hear from those of you are inspired to participate. Please consult the attached call for all submission details. No travel necessary, all you need is a good idea, good research, and internet connection!

B.A. INDS: Natural Disaster Management
Minor: Health Administration and Public Policy


Degree Mentors
Why did you choose to major in INDS?
I chose to major in INDS for a number of reasons. Firstly, I have a passion for all things w eather relat ed, especially natural disasters. The science behind natural disasters and their ability to destroy cities within seconds , fascinates me. Secondly, ever since I toured The R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Cent er in the tenth gr ade, I have found a love for trauma informed care and the fast pace nature of all things emer gency r elated. Lastly, I have always been interested in the inner workings of various social groups and how those groups int eract, live, and work within society, mor e specifically, low-income groups. When I came to UMBC, I did not find my three passions within my first chosen major and minor. However, when I t alked to Professor Brown about the INDS department, I knew I could combine my passions into one and bridge the gap between my disciplines . Then, I became excited about pursing education and w as finally able to claim my education at UMBC.
 
What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?
My ultimate goal is to become a disaster specialist for FEMA; however, that career path requires years of preliminary job experience. In the mean time, I hope to work for either a non-profit that services minority groups, low-income communities, or veterans or work for a local or state government under their emergency management department. Wherever I end up working, I hope to combine my disciplines to bring an interdisciplinary perspective to the workplace. Furthermore, I want to expand my understanding and collaborate with the perspectives of my colleagues to broaden my knowledge. Eventually, I plan to get my PhD in Emergency Management. 


EXTRACURRICULAR
I completed an internship at the non-profit organization, The Samaritan Women where I created a comprehensive, 50+ paged crisis response plan that is currently being implemented in sex trafficking shelters across the United States. I also am in the progress of an independent study with Dr. Halverson where we are creating a timeline of hurricanes that have hit low-income areas in the United States and exploring how the negative impacts could have been avoided and/or reduced.
