Applications Are Being Accepted for Spring Internships

The internship program, InteRDom, an initiative of Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) and Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE), is currently accepting applications for the Spring Semester (January 5 –April 17, 2010). The deadline to submit applications is November 6,
2009.

Through the InteRDom Program, both undergraduate and graduate students have the opportunity to perform an internship or execute a research project in one or more of over 300 affiliated Dominican organizations in the public, private and non-governmental sectors.  Students may also take a wide variety of academic courses in Spanish with other Dominican students at the Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE). This presents an excellent opportunity for students to
further their studies within a Spanish-speaking context, permitting accelerated growth in the area of language acquisition and application.

Students that need extra reinforcement in the Spanish language can also choose to take a specialized intermediate course to give their language skills an extra boost.
