While this informational session was canceled, there are still hopes for meaningful opportunities with the DNC, which has now been rescheduled to August. Email Professor Benesh for details, if you’re not already on her radar!
The Department of Political Science is hosting a brown bag for all UWM students interested in participating for credit in the DNC this summer. The Department is offering the following ways to participate:
SUMMER COURSE ON PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS (POL SCI 387). This is a hybrid (part online, part face-to-face) FULLY ONLINE course with an experiential learning component! Experiences will be related to Students will study the convention as an example of how one national party chooses its candidate.
SUMMER INTERNSHIP COURSE (POL SCI 489). We have always offered internships on a student-by-student basis. NOT THIS SUMMER! This time, we welcome ALL students (Freshmen – Seniors, any major, any party preference) the opportunity to enroll for 1-3 credits and we’ll help you find a meaningful DNC-related experience.
THE WASHINGTON CENTER. UWM is also excited to be the site host for the Washington Center’s National Conventions Seminar. The Center’s program lasts two weeks and consists of on-campus instruction coupled with student fieldwork with the DNC (or related groups). UWM is excited that the Center will offer TEN of our students a full scholarship to the program. (Students wishing to receive academic credit for this program can either enroll in POL SCI 387 or 489 in addition to completing all requirements of the Washington Center.) Is your Scholarship Portal profile ready to go? (DEADLINE FEBRUARY 16th!!) CANCELED
