Student Internship Award Opportunity - deadline 3/26

Dear Representatives of College Career Centers/Student Affairs/Political Science Departments:

I am pleased to announce the 21st annual Hartwig Memorial Internship Award. Your school is one of the colleges and universities across the country whose students have been selected to participate in this year's essay competition, the winner of which will receive a $1,500 cash award to use during the tenure of an internship in Washington, DC.

Peter Hart, the founder of Hart Research Associates, established this award to honor the memory of Paul Frederick Hartwig, Ph.D. (1941-1997), former Union College professor of political science and senior vice president of Hart Research. Fred Hartwig believed that it was very important for young Americans to be introduced to the nation's capital, the seat of the federal government and democracy. He believed that seeing and being a part of what goes on in Washington would enhance young people's appreciation for government, engage them in America's ongoing public conversations and debates, and result in their becoming more informed and involved citizens and leaders. This internship award is designed to promote and support this experience among college students from all liberal arts disciplines.

The award is specifically for students who will intern in or around the nation's capital this summer. While the student does not necessarily need to work on Capitol Hill or on a political campaign to qualify, the internship must be in the broad field of government, public policy, or politics.

The deadline for submitting an application is March 26, 2018.

On behalf of the entire selection committee, I look forward to honoring a deserving student this spring with the 21st annual Hartwig Memorial Internship Award.

Online political platform launches in Tacoma and Greater Pierce County

It can be a challenge both locally and nationwide for interested political candidates to find open positions, deadlines, and learn the requirements for elections. That may be why only two percent of Americans run for office, and 40 percent of state legislature races in the U.S. go uncontested. To make the process more accessible, a newly launched online platform called RunForOffice.org is now available to residents of Tacoma and greater Pierce County. Launched locally, RunForOffice.org is a free platform that gives people from all backgrounds the tools they need to become elected officials. Users will find a fully address searchable database, a list of every elected office in their area, filing requirements and even training. Start by plugging your zip code into the platform! The database for this effort was compiled by two University of Washington students.
