Right now, we are especially looking for full-time summer interns. Our interns work side-by-side with staff on reports, white papers, blog posts, and more.

 

We are looking for interns to help with our Job Gap Economic Prosperity Series, which looks at what it takes to make ends meet and whether families are actually getting by (past reports are available at thejobgap.org). Interns for this project would need to have strong data and research skills. We may also have need of interns without the data skills but with strong research/writing skills and interview skills, as well. Interns should have an interest in public policy and/or research and a desire to work toward racial, social, and economic justice.  While we prefer graduate students, we are also open to undergraduate interns who have strong skills and are able to give us strong references.

Many organizations take this time to give back to the community and help those in need, which is fantastic. However, the end of the holiday season should not mean the end of the giving season. That is why GoldenKeyUW will be holding its annual Operation Care Package after the holidays are over.

O.C.P. is our way of helping the homeless population in Seattle prepare for the winter. This event is open to EVERYONE, not just GK members. We will be making care packages which include clothes, first aid, food, and other items. Then we will distribute them to homeless people in Pioneer Square. O.C.P. is a 2 day event. You can choose to attend either day, or both. If you are a GK member, you will receive 4 points per day you attend. These points go toward earning free graduation cords! On Saturday Jan. 10th we will be making the care packages at UW. Then on Jan. 11th we will meet at UW and bus to Pioneer Square together to distribute the care packages. Please RSVP for O.C.P. so we can get a good idea of how many people will be helping out. Thank you!

Did you know that the PhD program in social work at The Catholic University of America is the 3^rd oldest one in the world?  The program is robust, producing significant scholarship and highly skilled scholars who have gone on to prominent careers in academia. Faculty at NCSSS are leading experts in their respective fields. CUA is located in the heart of Washington, DC, just a few Metro stops from the US Capitol and federal agencies. CUA is truly a great place to complete a PhD in social work!

Great News! Financial support has been acquired for eight doctoral students per year that includes full tuition for six years, as well as fellowships at $18,000 to $20,000 per year for the first two years. Given the magnitude of the award, CUA is seeking only the highest quality doctoral students who will be engaged in active scholarly work in one of the five research centers.

For additional information or questions, contact Dr. Lynn Mayer, Assistant Dean and Chair of the PhD Program at mayer@cua.edu.
