Info session Thursday, May 2, 2013, 2:30 pm, Abraham Shapiro Academic Complex (ASAC) Atrium, across from Heller
Conserve the rainforest. Help fight AIDS. Spread literacy. Teach art to orphans. Given the chance, how would you put social justice into action?
Become a Sorensen Fellow and spend next summer working on issues that matter to YOU in the organization of YOUR choice.
A Three-Part Experience
Sorensen Fellowship 2013 (deadline passed; 2014 application available in summer 2013):
- Spring 2013: Take a course of your choosing as academic preparation for your internship.
- Summer 2013: Intern in the organization of your choice, anywhere in the world. Tackle issues of international importance like coexistence, human rights, international law, hunger relief, gender equality, development, education, global health, AIDS prevention, refugee assistance, or something we haven't thought of!
- Fall 2013: Take a course with the other Fellows to reflect and write about the internship experience.
