RE: AAPD Accepting Applications for 2008 Summer Internship Program
For the
seventh year in a row, the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation (MEAF)
and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) are
offering a Congressional internship program for undergraduate
students with disabilities. The MEAF-AAPD Congressional Internship
Program provides an opportunity for students with disabilities to
work on Capitol Hill for eight weeks (or in some cases with a
Federal agency) and acquire valuable work experience that will
enrich their academic studies. As Congressional interns,
participants gain insight into the operations of Congressional
offices, learn how public policy is developed, and gain an
understanding of constituents'
roles in the
legislative and political processes. The internship program,
administered by AAPD, was created in 2002 through a major grant from
MEAF. Applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on
Friday, December 14, 2007.
