INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY AT VOICE OF AMERICA

下記、EducationUSA Weekly Update(No. 194 30 August 2010)より抜粋。

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY AT VOICE OF AMERICA - SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES ABOUT STUDYING IN THE U.S.

Deadline to apply: September 6th, 2010
Seeking talented and creative writers/reporters to contribute to a blog about student life in the U.S. Voice of America, an international news and broadcasting organization, is looking for a few great contributors to share their experiences, challenges and triumphs wit our audience, and to give international students a glimpse into what it's like to study in the U.S.

International students studying in the U.S. are particularly encouraged to apply.
As part of the blog's inaugural writing class, you will have an opportunity to help shape its direction and to experiment with multimedia journalism and innovative forms of storytelling. You will write about all aspects of university life, from the mundane (what is college food like?) to the deep (how do you develop your identity on
campus?) to the fun (what's the social life like?) to the practical (what was the application process like?). The more creative you can be in finding and telling great stories the better.

You will come away with a portfolio of professional writing, and we will work closely with you throughout your internship to help perfect your writing and storytelling skills. Course credit may be available if your university permits it.

You must:
- Have exceptional writing skills. Previous experience in journalism and/or blogging is a plus, but not required. Multimedia skills (video, audio, photography) would also be an asset
- Be a current college/university student (or be applying to college/university this year). International students and American study abroad students are particularly encouraged to apply, but we're looking for people from a range of backgrounds, majors and degree levels (grad and PhD students included)
- Be willing to contribute at least once a month when school is in session
- Be able to commit for at least a semester, preferably for the full year.

We are located in Washington, DC, but you do not need to be local to apply. In fact, we are looking for people from around the country who can provide a variety of perspectives.

To apply:
Submit a cover letter, resume and two writing (or multimedia) samples demonstrating the type of style this project will require to jstahl@voanews.com.

Applications due by Sept. 6 (flexible - if you would like to apply but will not be back at school by this date, send an email indicating your intent to apply and we can accept the application materials later)
Questions? Contact Jessica Stahl - jstahl@voanews.com; 202-203-4954

About us: Voice of America is an international broadcasting organization funded by the U.S. government. We broadcast around the world in 45 languages, serving as a consistently reliable source of news and information for those in information-deprived societies and those interested in learning about the US.

Applicants' projects need not focus on gender, however. Women and men from across the United States and
throughout the world, including developing countries, are encouraged to apply. We seek to build a community of fellows that is diverse in every way.

Please take a look at the eligibility guidelines and discipline listing before beginning your application. You may apply on-line using our electronic application system.  (Please note that if you apply on-line, your recommenders will also need to login and submit their letters on-line after you've begun filling out your application.)

For questions regarding the application process you can contact us by email or phone.
fellowships@radcliffe.edu (humanities, social sciences, and creative arts),
or
sciencefellowships@radcliffe.edu (natural sciences and mathematics)
Applications Office Line: 617-496-1324

Selection Process
Former fellows of the Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program (1999 to present) are not eligible to apply.
Each application is reviewed in a dual-tiered process by peers in relevant disciplines. Applications are judged on the quality and significance of the proposed project and the applicant's record of achievement and promise. Applicants are notified by e-mail of the results of the selection process in March.

Terms and Conditions
Stipends are funded up to $65,000 for one year with additional funds for project expenses. Some support for relocation expenses is provided where relevant. If so directed, Radcliffe will pay the stipend to the fellow's home institution.

In the event that they come for one semester, the stipend is $32,500. Since this is a residential fellowship, we expect fellows to reside in the Boston area during that period and to have their primary office at the Institute so that they can participate fully in the life of the community.

The Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies is dedicated to increasing our knowledge of the culture, history, and institutions of the world's major regions and countries. The Academy Scholars Program
identifies and supports outstanding scholars at the start of their careers whose work combines disciplinary excellence in the social sciences (including history and law) with a command of the language, history, or culture of non-Western countries or regions.

issues, past or present.

Academy Scholars are appointed for 2 years by the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies and are provided time, guidance, and access to Harvard facilities. They receive substantial financial and research assistance to undertake sustained projects of research and/or acquire accessory training in their chosen fields and areas.

The competition for these awards is open only to recent Ph.D. (or comparable professional school degree) recipients and doctoral candidates. Those still pursuing a Ph.D. should have completed their routine training and be well along in the writing of their theses before becoming Scholars; those in possession of a Ph.D. longer than 3 years are ineligible. Each year four to five Academy Scholars are named for two-year appointments. Scholars are expected to reside in the Cambridge/Boston area for the duration of their appointments unless traveling for pre-approved research purposes.

Post-doctoral Scholars will receive an annual stipend of $48,000, and pre-doctoral Scholars will receive an annual stipend of $28,000. This stipend is supplemented by funding for conference and research travel,

Who Has Campus Housing?

下記、EducationUSA Weekly Update(No. 190 2 August 2010)より抜粋。

Who Has Campus Housing?
Community Colleges that offer on-campus housing (from "U.S. News & World Report")

For international students who would like to attend community colleges in the U.S., housing is often a main concern. Many community colleges in the U.S. offer home-stay options and/or can help students to rent apartments, but an increasing number of community colleges also offer on-campus dormitories. A recent article from "U.S. News and World Report" provides a list of some of the community colleges that offer on-campus housing for students.

More than 100 two-year colleges have more than 3,000 students and offer campus housing. Not all states have residential community colleges of this size, but some, notably Texas, have several. Here are the biggest in 26 states that have them:

Alabama: Gadsden State Community College <http://www.gadsdenstate.edu/>
Arizona: Yavapai College <http://www.yc.edu/>
California: Sierra College <http://www.sierracollege.edu/>
Colorado: Colorado Mountain College <http://www.coloradomtn.edu/>
Idaho: College of Southern Idaho <http://www.csi.edu/>
Iowa: Eastern Iowa CC District <http://www.eicc.edu/>
Kansas: Butler Community College <http://www.butlercc.edu/>
Maine: Southern Maine Community College <http://www.smccme.edu/>
Maryland: Allegany College of Maryland <http://www.ac.cc.md.us/>
Michigan: Jackson Community College <http://www.jccmi.edu/>
