Greetings Everyone,
O’Malley for President is currently seeking unpaid interns at the campaign’s headquarters in Baltimore, MD to work in the finance, political, communications, operations, research, and scheduling departments. The fall internship program will run through the end of 2015.
This internship opportunity is perfect for students who are interested in getting a career started in politics and developing experience in the exciting world of political campaigns and organizations.
It's a blast being in the mosh pit of democracy, watching the campaign play out from the inside: contacting reporters, brainstorming policy proposals, talking with voters, attending young professional events and meeting other forward-thinking individuals!
This is an experience students will remember for their entire lives, and it's an easy way to get college credit.
The ideal intern would be able to work a minimum of 20 hours a week, but we are flexible. Applicants should be self-motivated, detail-oriented, and interested in the political process.
Requirements:
- Laptop to use at campaign headquarters
- Access to reliable transportation (we are located close to public transit in Baltimore)
- Belief in democratic ideals
- Complete minimum hours required (flexible scheduling available)
- No previous campaign experience required
Please send your resume and a cover letter indicating availability as well as which departments you are interested in to fall-interns@martinomalley.com with the subject line “Fall Intern” to apply.
We are an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, sex, age, handicap or sexual orientation.
Best

Hi Everyone,
This recently came to my attention. The application for the White House Internship Program will close on Sunday, September 13, 2015 at 11:59 PM EST.
White House Interns dedicate their time, talents, energy, and service to better the White House, the community, and the nation. They are a part of the White House team, and the assignments given to an intern on any given day could include conducting research, managing incoming inquiries, attending meetings, writing memos, and staffing events. They also participate in a speaker series with senior staff members and small group meetings exploring different policy aspects of the Executive Office of the President through speakers, discussions, and service projects.
Please visit www.whitehouse.gov/internships for more information about the program, the application process, a timeline with deadlines, and the departments that participate in the program. A complete application includes: short answers, two essay questions, a one-page resume, and two letters of recommendation. Again, the deadline to apply for the spring 2016 program is Sunday, September 13, 2015 at 11:59 PM EST.
]]>Hi Poli Students!
The Political Science Department is accepting applications to the the 67th Annual Student Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA) at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York. This is an excellent opportunity to get involved in international and security debates with a large number of students and experts from around the country.
Every year, the Department sends two students to represent UMBC at this conference. The Department covers registration fees and transportation to West Point, while the conference organizers provide room and board while there. If you are interested, please send a brief (one paragraph) letter of interest, including why you would like to go, what makes you qualified to represent the Department and your GPA to: Dr. Brian Grodsky, bgrodsky@umbc.edu. All applications must be received by September 18.
For more information, see below.
On behalf of Colonel Cindy Jebb, the head of the Department of Social Sciences, I would like to extend an invitation to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County to send two student delegates to participate in the 67th Annual Student Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA) at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York. The conference meets from November 4th through November 7th, 2015.
West Point hosts SCUSA every fall. It is the oldest and largest undergraduate conference of its type in the world. Approximately 200 undergraduate students from over 100 colleges and universities worldwide attend SCUSA. Throughout the conference, the student delegates and cadets debate and formulate policy recommendations that realistically model American strategic responses to significant national and global challenges. The highlights of the four-day conference include the opening senior panel discussion on the evening of November 4th, an evening keynote banquet address, four roundtable sessions, and a closing-report session on November 7th. Recent keynote speakers have included Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, Ambassador Thomas Pickering, Dr. Leslie Gelb, Admiral James Stavridis, Dr. Rajiv Shah, and Ms. Susan Eisenhower.
Our organizing theme this year is "Confronting Inequality: Wealth, Rights, and Power." We challenge students to consider how inequality, in all its manifestations, influences US foreign Policy. Which inequalities are likely to increase and which might decrease as global development proceeds? Are some forms of inequality inevitable or justifiable, and do any serve U.S. national interests? How should U.S. foreign policy respond to an increasingly prosperous world in which material wealth is unequally distributed?
Take Care!]]>
