Paid Internship: St. Andrew’s Episcopal School Diversity Office Intern for Upper-Division Students

St. Andrew’s Episcopal School Diversity Office Intern

Description:

St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Austin, Texas is an independent 1-12 college preparatory school committed to developing students as global citizens in the modern world.  In the school’s mission to develop each child’s full potential, multiculturalism, equity, inclusion, and social justice run through many aspects of the school’s community and program.  In this way, the diversity administrative office seeks a qualified, driven intern for the spring semester.  Opportunities will include:

–        Experience working in a dynamic, educational community

–        Experience in educational administration

–        Experience in student development and support

–        Experience in program design and implementation

–        Experience in research and strategic planning

The ideal candidate is a graduate student or upper level undergraduate student with an interest in secondary education and administration, particularly in the areas of race/ethnicity, equity, inclusion, multiculturalism, globalization, and social justice.  The Diversity Intern will assist the Director of Diversity and Upper School Diversity Coordinator in program development and implementation during the spring semester, as well as conducting a mutually-beneficial research study in the school community.  The intern will be expected to commit up to ten hours a week (schedule flexible) to working on campus.  Before beginning the internship, the candidate will undergo a full background check and complete required human resources training.  There will be $500 stipend awarded on completion of the research study, but the internship is predominantly a learning experience.

The internship will begin January 6 and conclude on March 7th.

Candidates should submit a resume and cover letter to:

Energy is a basic foundation of human society, like food, shelter, communication and mobility. A new international energy landscape is emerging as developing countries create their energy infrastructures and as energy technologies move away from fossil toward more sustainable sources and uses. The fifty-year time scale for significant change to this energy landscape implies that the strategic research and development choices we make now will determine future energy and societal outcomes. This talk will present promising science and technology development opportunities that will promote vibrant, interactive and rapidly advancing national and global societies in fifty years.
