Dear Friends,
Humanity in Action is now accepting applications for its 2014 Fellowship Programs in Europe.
Humanity in Action invites applications from talented college students and recent graduates who are intellectually gifted, mature, independent and passionate about social justice and human rights. Current sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduates from the undergraduate classes of 2012 and 2013 are eligible to apply.
Learn more about the Humanity in Action Fellowship »
For the past 15 years, the Humanity in Action Fellowship has brought together international groups of students and young professionals to study minority rights and to produce research exploring how and why individuals and societies resist intolerance and stand up for democratic values. The 2014 programs will begin in Washington, DC at the Council on Foreign Relations and subsequently take place for four weeks in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Paris and Warsaw.
Applications are due on January 9, 2014.
Intensive and demanding, the Humanity in Action Fellowship features daily lectures and discussions with renowned academics, journalists, politicians and activists, as well as site visits to government agencies, non-profit organizations, museums and memorials. Participation requires a great deal of intellectual curiosity and stamina, as well as the ability to work effectively in international teams.
After the program, participants join the global alumni network of Humanity in Action Senior Fellows and can take advantage of special professional fellowship opportunities, such as internship programs in the U.S. Congress and European Parliament.
We hope you will share this email widely with students and recent graduates whom you think would benefit from this opportunity. Students of all academic disciplines, interests and backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our staff at admissions@humanityinaction.org.
Cordially,
Dr. Judith S. Goldstein

Dear UT Undergraduates:
With registration for next semester coming up in a few weeks, let me tell
you about an exciting internship course.
Are you thinking about whether graduate school is in your future? Are you
uncertain about what it would be like to be a graduate student and what
academic program may be suited best to your interests and career goals?
If your answer to these questions is yes, you may wish to consider
undertaking the Intellectual Entrepreneurship (IE) “Pre-Graduate School
Internship.” This internship is open to students in all UT
colleges/schools and departments. You may earn one, two or three hours of
academic credit (CMS 164M/264M/364M) by participating in the internship.
Attached is a flyer describing the Pre-Graduate School Internship. In
addition, you may read more about this program (including FAQ’s, examples
of internship activities and an easy to complete internship contract) on
the web:
http://communication.utexas.edu/ie/
You may also be eligible for a Kuhn Intellectual Entrepreneurship Award.
This award is designed to encourage both first generation and economically
disadvantaged undergraduate students to pursue their academic passions and
to seriously consider graduate study.
The awards will be in the form of $1,000 stipends offered to a select
number of qualified undergraduate interns. The award is intended to
support and encourage students to pursue opportunities that further enrich
the Pre-Graduate School Internship experience. (e.g., traveling to
conferences, potential graduate school visits, research endeavors,
supplies, books etc.)
In addition, each intern’s graduate mentor will be awarded a matching
$1,000 stipend through the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement.
For more information about this award, please go to:

contact me at: spaj737@uts.cc.utexas.edu
NOTE: Because of the generosity of several UT deans, undergraduates who do
their pre-grad internship in programs in the following colleges will be
eligible to receive travel grants to help cover part of the cost of
attending an academic conference (with their grad mentor)– Law, Public
Affairs, Communication, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Pharmacy, Business,
Social Work, Education, Natural Sciences, Fine Arts.
Sincerely,
Rick Cherwitz
Professor and IE Director
