Federal Semester Program - This program at the University of Maryand, College
Park, is still accepting applications for the
2010-2011 concentration in Energy
and Environmental Policy! A selective, year-long experience, Federal
Semester seeks academically capable rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors who
are interested in studying how federal policy on energy and the environment is
shaped and implemented by organizations and government agencies in order to
become active practitioners and agents of change themselves. Combining a
fall seminar on federal policy with a spring internship in Washington, the
program also offers numerous out-of-class activities such as workshops, trips
to Capitol Hill, conversations with policy leaders, and valuable professional development
opportunities. A final reception and presentation for participants,
instructors, and federal internship supervisors culminates this unique and
rewarding experience. For more information about the program visit:
