Subject: Social Justice Internship Opportunity

Hello Again!

Thank you for your help in passing along these opportunities I send your
way from The Steans Center. It's that time of the quarter again when I
begin seeking applicants for the McCormick Tribune Internship, and I
hope that you will share this with the students in your department
again. 

The McCormick Tribune internship is conceived as the capstone experience
in an undergraduate's service experience for students with a strong
interest in not for profit, community and social justice work. This
internship is reserved for our best and brightest DePaul senior
undergraduates who have exhibited a commitment to service and academic
excellence, and can include students from all disciplines and
departments at DePaul.

The intern will spend one quarter in a placement within a community
setting that is structured to utilize their individual talents,
experiences and academic expertise. The internship will be focused on
project-based work, culminating with the generation of a final product
(e.g., a report for a community organization). At the end of the
quarter, McCormick interns will present their project as a capstone to
their internship experiences.  This project will be evaluated by a
committee of DePaul faculty, staff, and community representatives. Each
intern will paid $1,200 during the internship experience.

The three best McCormick intern projects will then be publicly presented
by the interns at an annual gathering of McCormick Tribune Interns,
Community Service Scholars, current students involved in community
service, faculty, staff and community representatives. 

TO APPLY students may download the application from our website:

If it's possible, we'd love you to forward this on to your listserves,
and mention it to the faculty to announce in their classes. I will
attach a flyer with a thorough description. 

Thank you,
