Our aim is to make our world a better place. The Elliott School is in a unique position to make a difference.

Applications are accepted from students at any point in their college career, as well as from graduate students and recent college graduates. EACH INTERN is assigned to work with a staff analyst on a specific research project. Assignments generally include building chronologies of events; helping obtain, order and catalog government documents; assisting with computer data entry; and performing library and archival research.
