Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice Summer Internships: Deadline April 5th

The Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice at the University of Texas School of Law offers Fall, Spring, and Summer internships to undergraduates who are interested in working in the field of human rights. Interns are chosen based on their academic credentials and background and interest in community outreach and human rights.

Undergraduate interns bring excitement and expanded capabilities to the Rapoport Center. The interns offer invaluable support to many Center programs and also initiate new projects, such as identifying courses in human rights across campus, interviewing the Center’s faculty affiliates so as to make the Center more attentive to their interests and work, and expanding outreach to undergraduate and graduate students across campus through the Human Rights Student Advisory Council. The interns also work with the Center faculty, staff, and human rights scholars on conference planning, alumni outreach, and coverage of the Center’s Human Rights Speaker Series and other sponsored events.

“I have been thrilled by the work and commitment of the undergraduate interns,” said Professor Karen Engle, the Center’s Co-Director. “We are honored that these talented and active students have chosen to make human rights work such a priority in their lives.” Former Associate Director, Ariel Dulitzky adds, “We are very grateful to have the opportunity to work with these brilliant, committed and responsible undergraduate interns. We hope that through the internship they will gain valuable experience regarding the practice and theory of human rights.”

  • Learning how an academic center functions
