Application Deadlines Fast Approaching for 2007 AGBU New York and
Paris Summer Intern Programs

The AGBU New York and Paris Summer Intern Programs (NYSIP and PSIP)
are currently accepting applications for the 2007 summer sessions,
having concluded another successful year in 2006 with 34 interns from
seven countries.

Now in their 20th and 4th seasons respectively, NYSIP and PSIP
provide interns with unique and valuable opportunities to work with
some of the most prestigious institutions in the world. Past
internship placements in New York have included the United Nations,
Columbia University Medical Center, Merrill Lynch and Sports
Illustrated. Internships in Paris have included the Louvre Museum,
Saint Ann Hospital, and Universal Music Mobile.

The New York and Paris Summer Intern Programs consist not only of
professional experience in the workplace, but also cultural and life
lessons for the up-and-coming Armenian youth. Participants take part
in seminars on résumé-writing, interviewing, and job networking tips,
as well as tourist activities in order to take advantage of all that
each city has to offer. The internship programs simultaneously
include community service and other activities that emphasize the
importance of giving back to the Armenian community.

NYSIP was launched in 1987, and was conceptualized by Vartkess and
Rita Balian out of the AGBU Central Office in New York. The Paris
Summer Intern Program was initiated in 2003 by the AGBU France
District Committee. The programs strive to give interns a solid
foundation for returning to their local communities with both
enhanced strength in their Armenian identity and increased direction
for their future careers. NYSIP and PSIP hope participants will
benefit from a closer connection to their cultural identity and
become successful professionals and future leaders in their
communities

Application deadlines are fast approaching; submissions are due
December 14, 2006 for NYSIP and January 12, 2007 for PSIP. Students
interested in receiving information or downloading applications can
contact NYSIP at nysip@agbu.org and PSIP at stages@ugabfrance.org.
