I was the Internship Coordinator for the Political Science Department at the University of Central Florida from January 1998 to August 2011 (except for my sabbatical in 2003-04). I was responsible for developing partnerships and for placing and supervising students in relevant political internships. During that time, I placed and supervised over 1500 students in Central Florida, Tallahassee, Washington DC, overseas and elsewhere. Placements sites have included the White House, State Department and other Federal Agencies, US Embassies, US Congress, Florida Legislature, Florida Governor, Orange County Mayor and Commission, Orlando Mayor and Commission and numerous law firms, interest groups, media companies, and non-profits. Over 171 UCF students got paying jobs in political science related fields as a result of their internship experiences during my tenure (there may be more – these are the ones that I am aware of). The majority of the time I spent on internships was also a service activity. From 1998 to 2001 all my time was donated. Between 2001 and 2009 two-thirds of my time was donated. From 2009 to 2011 one-third of my time was donated.
