RESEARCH GRANT COMPETITION 2019

GPLASC UNDERGRADUATE TRAVEL RESEARCH GRANT COMPETITION 2019

The Greater Philadelphia Latin American Studies Consortium (GPLASC) is pleased to announce the competition for travel grants to undergraduate students interested in conducting research in Latin America. Successful students may use the award to undertake research during the summer of 2019. Grants vary in size, depending on the research project. The maximum amount per grant is $1,500. The GPLASC travel grants cover research expenses such as travel, room and board, and photocopying. The grant, however, does NOT fund study at a foreign institution, tuition abroad, internship fees, or purchase of durable equipment, such as cameras, computers, or camcorders. The grant may be combined with grants from other sources.

GPLASC grants will NOT be made directly to students but to their departments or universities. Prior arrangements must be made in advance of receiving funds that the student has been granted permission to conduct research from their schools along with the necessary travel insurance.

Eligibility: Undergraduate students, except graduating seniors, from Colleges and Universities within the Consortium are eligible to apply. All majors are encouraged to apply; however, students must demonstrate a commitment to Latin American Studies through their coursework. Recipients will be required to make a presentation on their research to the GPLASC community in late fall 2019 or spring 2020 at the annual GPLASC-sponsored student research conference.

Deadline: Complete applications must be sent electronically by Monday March 4, 2019 to greaterphillylasconsortium@gmail.com. The grant recipients will be announced on Monday March 15, 2019.

1. A cover sheet with a short project title along with the applicant’s name, university affiliation, undergraduate class, mailing address, phone number, and email address.

The Latin American News Digest

This is a reminder that there is still time to apply for Summer internships.

The Latin American News Digest is seeking qualified students for a limited number of internships for Summer 2018. Because the goal of the Digest is essentially a didactic one, to spread the word about news from Latin America, we feel strongly about providing the opportunity for students to participate in this process. Student writers and researchers contribute to our weekly issues by aggregating and writing summaries of news articles found in Latin American sources. Ideally, internships happen in tandem with an independent study led by a faculty member of the appropriate department, but this is not a requirement. The result is an enriching experience for students who discover a variety of perspectives within the Latin American media. Students are able to identify trends and anomalies in the region, giving them a much greater breadth of knowledge and understanding of the hemisphere in which they live.

Intern responsibilities:

Interns must be able to write brief aggregations in English that summarize multiple perspectives from newspapers written in Spanish, and sometimes in Portuguese or English. Typically, interns write 1000-1200 words per week (3-4 section articles or News in Brief items). Interns generally work approximately five-six hours per week with most of that work falling on Wednesdays and Thursdays since submissions are due on Fridays. This internship does not require onsite work. Interns work remotely, but need to be readily available via email, cell and skype.

Summer 2018 internships begin on May 15 and end on August 31. Interns are expected to be available during that time; however, consideration will be given to “breaks” in the schedule if they are arranged with sufficient prior notice.

Intern qualifications:

Interns must possess excellent writing skills in English and advanced reading skills in Spanish. Ability to read Portuguese is a plus. Familiarity with Latin American civilization and culture, as well as general current events is highly recommended. The ability to meet deadlines is essential.

Application process:

Interns should submit a letter of interest as an example of their writing skills to Dr. Jana M. DeJong (jdejong@hsc.edu). The letter should outline the intern’s experience (coursework, travel, etc.) as it pertains to language skills and knowledge of Latin America. The names and contact information for two references must be included. One of the references must address the applicant’s ability to write in English, while the other should address the applicant’s reading ability in Spanish and/or Portuguese. One of the references should also speak to the applicant’s familiarity with Latin America. The letter of interest and contact information for two references must be submitted by April 6, 2018, (or thereabouts).

If you have any questions, please contact wjohngreen@latinamericannewsdigest.com

Meet the Man Running a $100 Million

Campaign to Save the Republican Majority

With so many topics headlining today’s political conversation, it’s critical for millennials to make their voices heard (like the Students for Life club recently tried to do, and you all handled so well), and this is the perfect way by earning college credit while doing so. One of the main goals of our internship program is setting them up for success not only now, but looking ahead as well, and past interns have found the program to be particularly helpful in enhancing their resumes for future political endeavors. In my experience, students have parlayed time on a campaign into positions with state government, as well as on Capitol Hill; it’s very likely!

I’m sure you are busy, but I was hoping you could pass the attached flier along to your students either by printing off hard copies or by email, either works well, and I’d be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have beforehand. And if you do forward this information along, I would like you to let me know so that I can thank you properly.

I appreciate this so much, and if you would like to get a feel of just what exactly I’m starting up out here, please read this tremendously written TIME article that feature CLF’s head honcho Corry Bliss, as well as the previous office team I had back in Omaha, NE, (I’m in the blue sweater), and I definitely look forward to hearing from you soon!

Congressman Pallone’s (NJ-6)

Congressman Pallone’s (NJ-6) campaign office is currently looking for fall campaign interns that are energetic and ambitious students who would like to learn in depth about the political process.  Campaigns provide for an exciting and grounded learning experience that teach what it’s like to interact with voters, organize communities, and get a person elected to public office.

The working environment is demanding, but the skills and lessons learned are essential to working in the political or governmental fields. Working directly with senior campaign staff, interns will be empowered in an environment with potential for professional and personal growth. This is a must-have position for anyone interested in political campaigns.  Interns will assist staff members with research, communications, voter contact, finance and administrative tasks, giving students a well-rounded campaign experience. Interns will work closely with staff members, but will be expected to be able to carry out independent projects.

Job Description:

• Completing political and general research tasks
• Support staff with daily administrative tasks
• Conduct Voter Contact and Voter Registration
• Enter and track data
• Staff political events
• Craft social media posts and emails

The hours are flexible, including nights and weekends to fit around class or work schedules. No political experience is needed, but applicants should have an interest in government, politics or public policy.

Additionally, one of the main goals of our internship program is setting them up for success not only in the short term, but to look ahead as well…Past interns have found the program to be particularly helpful in enhancing their resumes for their future political endeavors, such as state government, journalism, campaign or district staff, as well as working up on Capitol Hill; it’s all very likely because it’s already taken place!

We are looking for new interns who are enthusiastic about the Republican Party and would like to get involved in helping with our efforts leading into this year’s election.  Would you mind sharing our openings with any prospective candidates or forwarding this along to the appropriate party?
