Leadership Internship Opportunity

The Capital One Leadership Internship Program  

 

The Capital One Leadership Internship Program (CLIP), sponsored by the Adele H. Stamp Student Union - Center for Campus Life, the University Career Center and The President's Promise, and Capital One Bank is now accepting applications for its 2012-2013 cohort.  Do not miss this wonderful opportunity to gain leadership skills while doing an internship and studying abroad!

 

What is CLIP?

 

CLIP is an opportunity for students to explore the concept of Global Leadership through two leadership courses, an internship, and a short-term study abroad experience.  During the fall semester students will participate in an internship with a local community agency and attend a weekly 3-credit leadership course, EDCP 318I. During the spring semester students will enroll in the continuation of EDCP 318I and will travel to Masaka, Uganda during spring break to explore community-based leadership in an international context.

 

This great program covers all the major expenses (i.e. airfare, accommodation, meals, in-country transportation, and tours) of the trip to Uganda. In addition, the program, with the help of the University Career Center and the President's Promise, will assist students to find the fall internship.

 

First-year students who want to make a difference in their community, who have an interest in global leadership, and who are searching for a way to connect at Maryland are strongly encouraged to apply. However, ALL students are eligible to apply.

 

Applications are due Friday, February 24th, 2012 at 5 pm. Applications and program information are available online at www.thestamp.umd.edu/clip

 

If you have any questions about the program or the application please do not hesitate to contact Val Nam, CLIP intern and past participant, at clip@umd.edu.
