Freie Universit?t Berlin and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) are
pleased to announce the third year of an intensive scholarship-supported
summer seminar/internship program in Berlin for American journalism and
communications students. We would be delighted and very grateful if you
could help us spread the word about this exciting new opportunity among your
students, faculty and fellow staff. The program is targeted primarily at
currently enrolled undergraduate students, but a limited number of
graduating Seniors, recent graduates and Master's students may be accepted
as well.
For the first six weeks of the program, participants will take part in a
seminar series to expand their academic understanding of the politics,
society and culture of Germany, and the country's current social conditions
and media scene. During the second week, students will go on excursions
within Germany together with journalism students from the Independent States
of the former Soviet Union. The final five weeks consist of an intensive
internship with a German newspaper, magazine, radio station or PR firm in or
near Berlin.
Applicants must have at least "advanced intermediate" German skills to take
part in the program, as the seminars and internships take place in the
German language. The 20 applicants who are finally selected for the program
will be awarded a monthly stipend of 650 Euros for the duration of their
stay in Germany. DAAD will also provide participants a partial travel
subsidy of 650-950 Euros (depending on US city of origin) towards the cost
of international transportation to Germany; travel costs not covered by the
partial subsidy must be paid by the individual program participants
themselves. DAAD will also provide health and accident insurance. There will
be a program fee of 140 Euros.
The application deadline is January 31, 2010. The 40 applicants who are
invited to a selection interview in New York City (in early March) will
receive up to $300 toward the cost of their flight to the interview
location.

Open Internship at Urban ArtWorks: Grant research position
Urban ArtWorks is a local non-profit that creates public art with art risk youth sent to us through the King County Court system. We rely on funding from foundations both private and public. To learn more about what we do visit www.urbanartworks.org
This position would be ideal for someone interested in art administration or fundraising and who has strong research and writing skills. Research will include seeking out grant opportunities, compiling a calendar of deadlines and contacts, and sometimes assisting in proof reading before the final grant is submitted. This could turn into a grant writing position, which is currently unpaid but a successful intern will be first to be considered when a paid position becomes available.
This position would require up to 5 hours per week. 4 hours dedicated to research and ideally a 1 hour weekly staff meeting. We are not in need of someone in our office, so the 4 hours of research or editing can be done remotely. Candidate must have regular access to a computer with internet and word processing. We can provide a computer here, but our internet and office hours are spotty, so we prefer someone with their own access.
Internship is available immediately and will be flexible during the Holidays. For more information, to send a resume or to come see our studio please contact
Kathleen Warren at 206.292.4142 or Kathleen@urbanartworks.org.
Our studio is located in the SODO area at 923 S. Bayview St, Suite C, Seattle WA 98134.

We are looking for students to participate in the 2010-2011 exchange program
with Sichuan University in China and would really appreciate your help in
forwarding this e-mail on to students or groups who might be interested.
The UW-Sichuan University Undergraduate Exchange Program is a unique chance for
UW students to not only live and study in China but to engage in a hands-on,
self-directed research project overseas. The two or three quarter program
offers intensive Chinese language training, additional classes offered in
English and an amazing chance for students to research a topic of their own
choosing. Sichuan University's location in western China means that students
have the opportunity to travel and do research in places such as a national
park in the eastern Himalayas or remote minority villages in southern Sichuan.
The program is open to all majors and is a great opportunity to make huge gains
in Chinese language skills and to really engage with China.
/**We will be having an open information session with the Program Coordinator
and the 2008-09 program alum on November 18, 7:00 pm in HUB 209B.** /
For more information please check out our Facebook group ?UW-Sichuan
Undergraduate Exchange Program? or our website:

"The One Who Is Not Busy": An evening symposium sponsored by the UW Information School
(Presentations&Meetings )
The One Who Is Not Busy:
Living and Working Calmly and Effectively
in an Accelerating, Information-Saturated World
November 12, 2009, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.
University of Washington
Johnson Hall Room 102
Presenters
Darlene Cohen (Zen teacher and author of The One Who Is Not Busy)
Alfred W. Kaszniak (Professor of Psychology, Neurology, & Psychiatry, U. Arizona)
David M. Levy (Professor, University of Washington Information School)
Description
While the new information technologies are extraordinarily powerful
tools for communication and for information access, it is increasingly
evident that their use is also contributing to the rushed, fragmented,
and distracted character of contemporary life. This evening symposium
will provide an overview of some of the work now being done at the
Information School to understand the causes of these conditions and to
develop helpful responses and potential solutions.
David Levy will provide an overview of the work currently being done
in the iSchool (in collaboration with Darlene Cohen, Al Kaszniak, and
others) which is investigating how to restore "contemplative balance"
to our overly rushed and busy days. Darlene Cohen, a Bay Area Zen
teacher, will describe how training the attention through meditation
can improve people's ability to stay focused on task and thus
remain "not busy" even while being productively engaged; she will also
lead attendees in an attention-training exercise. Al Kaszniak will
discuss some of the recent findings from neuroscience about the place
of meditation and other contemplative practices.
This event is free and open to the public. To register for this event,

* Be a college junior pursuing a bachelor's degree during the 2009-2010
academic year. "Junior" means a student who plans to continue full-time
undergraduate study and who expects to receive a baccalaureate degree
between December 2010 and August 2011.
* Plan to enter a master's or doctoral program in the arts, humanities or
social sciences. Students in the social sciences who plan to pursue
graduate study in neuroscience should not apply for a Beinecke
Scholarship.
* Be a United States citizen or a United States national from American
Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
* Have a documented history of receiving need-based financial aid during
his or her undergraduate years. Primary evidence of meeting this

state or federal grants-in-aid. An institutional financial aid officer
will be required to complete a Financial Data Sheet certifying that the
student meets this criterion. In the selection process, the amount of
financial need will not be a major determining factor, nevertheless,
preference is given to candidates for whom the awarding of a scholarship
would significantly increase the likelihood of the student's being able
to attend graduate school.

please attend a Beinecke Scholarship Information Session in 120 MGH:

Community Literacy Program for Winter 2010
(Other )
COMMUNITY LITERACY PROGRAM: Are you a UW student interested in helping public school students succeed? Getting real world experience to help you choose a major or a career path? Completing classroom hours for the Education, Learning and Society Minor or for application to a Masters in Teaching program? Improving your research, writing, and collaborative learning and presentation skills? Are you looking for an opportunity (in the words of Paul Farmer) to "use what you learn to transform yourself and your community"? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Community Literacy Program may be just what you're looking for.
HOW THE COMMUNITY LITERACY PROGRAM WORKS: Community Literacy Program (CLP) is an 8 credit program linking English 298A and Education 401C. In English 298 you'll meet on campus MW 10:30-12:20 in a writing-intensive seminar focused on learning effective methods of working with public school students in language arts, exploring some central challenges and opportunities for public education, and using writing to inquire into, develop and communicate your thinking about these issues. This seminar will be taught by CLP Director Elizabeth Simmons-O'Neill in collaboration with College of Education secondary language arts faculty. In EDUC 401, you'll put what you learn on campus into action, volunteering (4-5 hours a week, on a schedule you arrange) at one of our partner public schools in Seattle or Shoreline: Olympic Hills Elementary, Garfield High School or Shorecrest High School. Community Literacy Program is among the longest-running community-based programs at UW, and is a partner in the Phoenix Project, a new initiative to both prepare future language arts teachers and support P-12 language arts students.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION: To sign up for the Community Literacy Program,
contact the Director, Dr. Elizabeth Simmons-O'Neill (esoneill@u.washington.edu, 685-3804) for an add code. Once you are registered in Education 401C, you will be able to register for the required linked course, English 298A. English 298 can be used toward either the UW's 10-credit "W" requirement or the 5 credit "Composition" requirement.
QUESTIONS? Additional information is available at the program web site:

Several times a year, Jim McDermott offers unpaid internship
opportunities in his Washington D.C. and Seattle offices to young
people who are interested in seeing first-hand how our government works.
An internship in Washington, D.C. provides an opportunity to work with
a congressional staff, attend committee hearings and markups, observe
the House in session, and learn about the daily operations of
Congress, while enhancing an understanding of the legislative process
and national issues. An internship in Seattle provides an opportunity
to attend constituent meetings, learn about the legislative process,
participate in constituent services, and experience the daily
operations of a congressional district office.
Because we receive more applications than the number of available
positions, we encourage applicants to submit their information as
early as possible. This allows either office the time to properly
review applications and also affords time for those seeking a position
in Washington DC to make the necessary housing and travel arrangements.
Applicants must be an undergraduate or graduate college student who
has completed at least one year of college and should posses an
interest in the legislative process and in helping constituents, as
well as strong writing and communication skills.
If an applicant will be participating in a formal program directed by
their school, we ask that they indicate what specific requirements the
program would make of the office. If their school does not offer a
formal intern program, they may wish to speak to an advisor about the
possibility of receiving independent study credit for the internship.
If you would like to be considered for a position, please submit to
the appropriate office the following information as a complete packet:
1. Cover letter explaining your interest,
2. A current resume
3. Letters of reference
4. The Year and school term or the dates you are be available.

Lead a service project for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service
(ASUW/UW Notices )
On Monday, January 18, 2010, the Carlson Center and United Way of King
County will be coordinating the 9th Annual MLK Jr. Day of Service. Last year
over 1,300 UW students, staff, faculty, alumni, friends, and family served
at projects around King County ranging from cleaning, painting, and
beautifying transitional housing facilities, clearing invasive plant growth
in Seattle's natural habitats, clearing trash from neighborhood parks, or
sorting donated food and clothing, just to name a few.
As an MLK Day of Service project leader, you will be the vital communication
liaison between your project host, project volunteers and the Carlson
Leadership & Public Service Center. Project leaders choose from among a
variety of one-day service projects that have been organized by local
community partners to take place on January 18th. As a project leader, you
can recruit your own service team or open your project to meet new people.
The commitment is minimal and rewarded with leadership experience, stronger
relationships, and a demonstrated commitment to our community.
Project Leader trainings will take one hour and be offered from November 2nd
- November 10th in Mary Gates Hall.

If you are obsessed with iPods and Macs, TiVo, cell phones, HDTV, digital
cameras, MP3 players, and all other consumer electronics, we may have an
opportunity for you to intern at one of the Internet's top consumer electronics
blogs. Professional writing experience isn't necessary (though it can't hurt)
but what we really care about is that you can write about gadgets with wit,
concision, and authority.
We are looking to add a few more bloggers/writers to our very popular consumer
electronics and gadgets news and review site. If you want to make a name for
yourself while writing about the technology that you love, drop us a line.
The requirement here is strong aptitude and command of the English language.
Oh, and a passion for the subject matter is definitely a plus as well - you
must seriously love places like Amazon and Best Buy. You work from home - or
wherever else you have internet access - and make your own hours.
Here's what you need to send to apply:
Writing
* Three sample blog posts about current tech and consumer electronics news.
These sample posts can be about whatever you want, as long as they fit the
subject matter.We won't be using these on the site, we just want to get a sense
of how well you can do this stuff.
* Don't just send us stuff you wrote elsewhere, we're not asking for clips.
* Let your personality and wit shine through. We aren't looking for dry news
posts. Save that for the Times.
* Your favorite related gadgets (and why).
About You
* Your contact info.
* Have you done blogging before? If so, which platform(s) have you used?
How much time per week you can commit to blogging. If it's less than five hours
then you probably shouldn't bother. Be realistic, okay?
* Any other questions you may have about the gig.
* Oh, and no attachments or resumes. Just send the above info in the body of
your email. Please note that we will only review fully complete applications,
and remember to put the name of the position you're applying for in the title
of your email.

ABOUT COLLEGE PRO
College Pro Painters is a North American student painting company that offers residential painting services during summer months in local communities. Since 1971, we have been committed to providing our student franchise managers with a world-class leadership training program and small business management experience. We have painted over 250,000 homes, developed over 10,000 Franchise Managers, 100,000 Painters, and completed charity work and community service in every US state and Canadian province where we operate.
Since 2004, student franchise managers and general managers have participated in charity events and donated services equating to over $760,000 to improve community spaces and housing in underprivileged areas across Canada and the United States. Many of these charitable projects occur during our student manager’s spring breaks, and have resulted in improving the quality of life for many people. Our company’s core purpose ‘together, realizing potentials’ uniquely mentors and challenges students to become successful community leaders.
In 2006, we initiated a painter scholarship program. The “working for humanity” scholarship was created in February of 2006, and is awarded to 3 Painters each summer. The purpose of the scholarship is to send Painters to a third world country to volunteer their time so that they can help people in need. Furthermore, they can bring back their experience and learning to share with all of College Pro. It is important to College Pro to help our Painters learn and grow as well as help others in need.
Cross Cultural Solutions (CCS) is a non-profit organization that helps us facilitate the volunteer work. Once the Painter is selected, they simply get in touch with CCS and choose three things: First, when they want to go; secondly, where they want to go; and lastly what type of volunteer work they desire. College Pro Painters pays for all of their expenses with CCS, including their flight, meals and accommodation. We also pay for their wages that they will not be earning while away. That way they can still volunteer and make some money to go back to school in the fall.
In addition to the above, College Pro was a proud Gold sponsor and fund-raiser of Peter Oyler's Race Across America to support and raise funds for Kids Help Phone in Canada www.kidshelpphone.ca. Peter Oyler www.peteroyler.com is a multi-sport athlete and a seasoned adventure racer who competed in the race in June 2007, and plans to compete again in 2009. The Race spans over 3,100 mile from coast to coast in the US and Peter finished it in 11 days and 4 hours in 2007. We will again be a major sponsor for Peter and Kids Help Phone as he competes in 2009.
We have also partnered with a number of like-minded organizations: DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America—the High School Division; and Delta Epsilon Chi Association-the College Division), an international association of high school and college students studying marketing, management and entrepreneurship in business, finance, hospitality and marketing sales and service. We are also in partnership with SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) and their Canadian counterpart ACE, which is an international network of student, academic and business leaders who have made a commitment to create a better world with better leaders—individuals who have the ability and are willing to put forth the effort to make a meaningful contribution to their communities, and are working together to improve the lives of others. In addition, we have established partnerships with NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers), CEO (Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization), and PSE (Pi Sigma Epsilon—a professional sales organization for students).
We fervently believe in these organizations and feel that they too provide students with unmatched learning opportunities.

ABOUT THE MANAGER ROLE
College Pro provides students with exceptional management and leadership training that helps them to stand out NOW and in life after college. It’s Real Life, Right Now.
A College Pro Manager is a leader, an entrepreneur and a responsible business owner. We are currently selecting people across North America who have the drive, ambition, and commitment to succeed—and we teach them how to get there.
Our Franchise Managers have said:
• “I ran a business that employed 10 people and I was accountable for everything that we did. I know what it’s like to have people rely on me for a pay check.”
• “I developed and implemented a business plan. I successfully managed both school and my business.”
• “My marketing strategy generated leads and made it easier to sell services to my customers.”
• “I learned to communicate with customers and to deliver what I promised. I also had great customer feedback.”
• “I discovered who I really was, found my strengths and weaknesses, put myself through challenges, gained self-confidence, and learned to expect more from myself.”
Wouldn’t that sound really good in an interview? We have also provided a number of manager experience quotes within this packet, and can connect you directly with students who are and have been Franchise Managers with us.
Successful Managers can:
• Learn how to run a business
• Learn and use managerial and business skills that will serve them long after the summer ends in any future career
• Gain a proven track record and real world business experience
• Be financially rewarded for their hard work
• Have fun and build a lifelong network of like-minded people
We train and mentor our managers in all aspects of running their business; each manager works one on one with a coach who is responsible for helping him/her achieve success. We believe in learning by doing. Managers gain hands-on experience with:
• Serving customers: marketing, meeting, estimating, contracts, quality work
• Managing employees and painters: hiring, training, managing job sites
• Being responsible: collecting money, payroll, tracking profitability
What students can learn as a College Pro Franchise Manager will serve them long after the summer ends.
• Leadership and Communication
• Business Organization and Planning
• Financial Management
• Marketing and Sales
• Customer Relations
• Interviewing and Hiring
• Training and Coaching
We’ve spent more than 35 years teaching students to run successful businesses, and support all of our Franchise Managers with the skills, tools, and technology to help them succeed. Training leaders and managers to run effective small to medium-sized businesses is one of our core competencies.
Our training takes place on weekends during the winter and spring months so as not to interfere with the students’ school schedule. We follow up our classroom training with work in the field. Our full-time General Managers (who were all franchisees while they were students) work with our franchisees by going into the field on their first estimates to coach them, as well as visit the franchisees and painters in the field in the summer. On top of that, our franchise managers have weekly phone meetings with the GM to consult on their business.

Deadline to apply - Dec. 1
http://www.magazine.org/asme/index.aspx
Diana has an application at her desk or you can go to:
http://www.magazine.org/asme/index.aspx
The American Society of Magazine Editors sponsors a ten-week summer internship program for college juniors each year.
The internship program is intended for editorially oriented students. The emphasis is on editing magazines, and includes the performance under supervision of such tasks as handling reader mail, evaluating unsolicited manuscripts, researching articles, checking facts, proofreading, copy editing, interviewing, covering press conferences, and attending editorial meetings. At a number of magazines, there may also be reporting and writing opportunities, even a few bylines. Some interns have the opportunity to see how the circulation, advertising and other business departments of the magazine function.
The program begins with a two-and-a-half day orientation in New York, during which the interns get to know each other; hear from top editors and other magazine executives about magazine editing and publishing; and meet alumni of the program who talk about magazine jobs and living in and enjoying the city. A brief orientation meeting is also held in Washington, D.C. for interns assigned there.
During the program there are weekly luncheons where interns meet and visit with a varied group of editors and other magazine professionals..
Each intern is asked to submit a written report by the final day of the internship on his/her specific work experience, suggestions for the program, and comments on journalism education.

Sea Education Association - study the ocean
(Other )
Hello from Woods Hole and the Sea Education Association (SEA)! I will be
visiting UW on Wednesday, October 21 to speak with students about SEA
Semester programs (www.sea.edu). You can find me at an information table in
Vista Caf? (in Foege/BioGenome Building) from 11am-2pm, or email me if you
would like to meet at another time.
In case you are unfamiliar with SEA, we are an off-campus study program that
has educated undergraduates about the oceans since 1971. Each of the four
interdisciplinary SEA Semesters offers field-based experiences in marine and
environmental studies. Students of all majors begin ashore with academic
coursework in marine science, maritime studies, and practical seamanship.
They then complete a 3,000-mile ocean voyage aboard one of our sailing
research vessels. At sea, students are challenged to carry out independent
research while taking increasing responsibility for shipboard operations.
All programs carry 12-17 semester credits from Boston University, and
generous scholarships & financial aid packages are available.
My visit on Wednesday is a great chance for you to hear stories, see
pictures, ask questions, or just enjoy a cup of coffee (my treat!). Many UW
students have sailed with SEA in the past, and we hope to get more out on
the water soon! I look forward to hearing from you!
All the best,
SEA Semester Admission Counselor

Seattlepi.com - neighborhood blog
(Other )
My name is Vanessa Ho and I'm the community editor for seattlepi.com. One of
your undergrad students is doing an internship here and suggested that I
contact both of you.
I oversee a neighborhood blog program that features news and opinion by
volunteer writers in individual neighborhoods. So far, we have Queen Anne,
Belltown, Greenwood and South Lake Union. We're working on launching a blog
about the University District and would like to involve University of
Washington journalism students.
The goal of these blogs is to foster community engagement and connections,
and to be a place for news and conversation about neighborhoods. Unlike
traditional news outlets, the blogs are written by volunteers who write
about where they live and who use the latest media technologies - which is
why we think student participation is vital for any effort involving the
U-District.
At seattlepi.com, UW students would have a tremendous platform to showcase
their work and gain experience. We are one of the leading online news sites
in the country, with 3.5 million unique viewers and an average of 3.5
million page views a month.
To get a sense of our blog template, here are two of our neighborhood blogs:
www.insidebelltown.com and www.inqueenanne.com. To see where they live on
our front page, go to our site (www.seattlepi.com) and scroll down to a
block called "Neighborhood News."

If you're planning to take the GRE this fall, you might want to know about
U-District Test Prep's $99 1-day GRE course, a new way to give your application
the professional test prep edge without spending hundreds of dollars or hours.
As a local start-up, formed by experienced UW instructors, U-District Test Prep
can offer a deal that no other test prep company can match. For only $99, the
course covers everything on the test, including a complete math review. You
also get a free book of study materials and practice tests and a free
guaranteed follow-up tutoring session.
If you're thinking about just studying on your own and taking the test to see
how you do, take our course instead. It costs $51 less than having to take the
test again--and is also way more fun.
The next class is scheduled for October 25th. For more information, check out
the website at www.udistricttestprep.com or email info@udistricttestprep.com
with questions.

Re: Thomson Reuters editorial internships for the summer of 2010.
Our application deadline is December 1, 2010.
We accept ONLINE applications only. We will host interns in New York,
Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Toronto and Latin America (various
cities). Spanish or Portuguese is required for Latin America.
While many media companies have slashed intern programs or are not hiring
them when the internship is complete, we are growing. We took 14 interns in
the summer of 2009. One of those has been hired full-time and three more
have been extended beyond the 10-week program and have an excellent chance
of being hired. In 2008, we hired three from a class of 11 interns.
To find the job posting, applicants should go to the CAREERS section of
www.thomsonreuters.com, and in the JOB SEARCH bar, type JOURNALISM
INTERNSHIP or EDITORIAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.
For more information about what we look for in interns, go to the STUDENT
CENTER of the CAREERS section of the web site, the BACHELORS AND MASTERS
DEGREE section and look under AMERICAS JOURNALISM SUMMER INTERNSHIPS.
If you have further questions about the program, please contact Greg
McCune, Internship Coordinator; Jane Light, Americas Training Manager; or

winter-spring internship program (starts January 11, ends June 2010)
We look for the following in applications/applicants: well-written cover letter,
detail-oriented, prior work experience, references who can speak to writing
skills and conscientiousness/level of detail, strong GPA and
extracurriculars, and good organization skills.
****EDITORIAL INTERNSHIP POSTING BELOW!****
Seattle Metropolitan magazine is currently seeking smart and outgoing
interns for our editorial department located in Seattle, Washington. The
position requires a minimum of 20 hours a week in 4 to 5 hour stints. We are
flexible with student schedules during the academic year.
Our winter-spring internship will start January 11, 2010, and end June 4,
2010. The internship is unpaid; students may take the internship for college
credit.
Applications for internships will be accepted until all positions are
filled. We also accept applications on a rolling basis for summer and fall.
Interns must be located in the Seattle area.
Editorial interns are responsible for fact-checking, primary research and
reporting for our events listings, assisting editors with feature story
projects such as our annual ?Best Doctors,? ?Real Estate Guide,? Best Places
to Work,? and ?Holiday Shopping,? articles, participating in team
brainstorming meetings, and assisting with some administrative tasks.
When interns have proved successful on shorter writing assignments, they may
have the opportunity to contribute to and write departments and features. We
want our interns to walk away with strong clips that they have earned.
The ideal candidate will be working toward a bachelor?s degree in English
literature, journalism, publishing, or creative writing. Our internship
candidates also commonly have previous editorial experiences (at school
newspapers, journals, magazines, etc.), strong interests in magazine
writing, and the ability to juggle several assignments at once.
To apply, send a cover letter, r?sum?, three references, and writing samples to:
Ariana Donalds, Managing Editor
Seattle Metropolitan magazine
1201 Western Ave, Suite 425
Seattle, WA 98101
adonalds -at- seattlemet.com

your emailed application.
No phone calls, please.
****WEB INTERNSHIP POSTING BELOW!****
Seattle Metropolitan magazine is currently seeking smart and outgoing web
interns for our editorial department located in Seattle, Washington. The
position requires a minimum of 20 hours a week in 4 to 5 hour stints. We are
flexible with student schedules during the academic year.
Our winter-spring web internship will start January 11, 2010, and end June
4, 2010. The internship is unpaid; students may take the internship for
college credit.
Applications for internships will be accepted until all positions are

responsible for uploading magazine content to our website using our content
management system; writing and fact-checking original content for the site,
including blogs and events listings; assisting editors in conceptualizing
and executing web exclusives such as slide shows and video/audio content;
participating in team brainstorming meetings; and assisting with some
administrative tasks.
Interns have the opportunity to write for the magazine as needed and pitch
stories for the magazine, but their primary job function is to administer
our website, which is updated daily. Interns proving successful on shorter
writing assignments may have the opportunity to contribute to and write
departments and features for the magazine.
Web interns should be web savvy, but not web obsessed. We?re looking for
self starters that bring a keen interest in the city to the table.
Demonstrated interest in a range of cultural topics, especially food and
drink, arts and culture, current news and events, is a plus. We value a
willingness to pitch in, detail-oriented thinking, diligent fact checking,
and the ability to do the heavy lifting of data entry with grace and aplomb.

degree in English literature, journalism, or creative writing. Our
internship candidates also commonly have previous editorial experiences (at
school newspapers, journals, magazines, etc.), strong interests in magazine
writing, and the ability to juggle several assignments at once. Experience
with InDesign, Photoshop, and content management systems is helpful but not
required.

Conducting Research Responsibly-Oct. 21
1pm in MGH 389
THE IMPORTANCE OF CONDUCTING RESEARCH RESPONSIBLY:
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Dr. John Galland, Director
Division of Education and Integrity, Office of Research Integrity
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
October 21st, 2009
1:00-2:15 p.m.
Mary Gates Hall, Room 389
Dr. Galland will provide guidance to students, fellows and faculty on the
meaning of conducting research responsibly and what that means to us in our day
to day research environment.
Twenty years ago, the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) at DHHS, in concert
with the community of scholars in the United States and internationally,
provided guidance on conducting research responsibly. Nine focus areas were
identified and education and training in these areas was encouraged and in some
instances required. Dr. Galland will share the ORI insights on how we
incorporate these principles into mentoring and carrying out research. Those
core areas include:
? Ownership of research data
? Recognizing and addressing conflicts of interest
? Working with human subjects
? Issues of animal welfare
? Misconduct in research
? Authorship and publication protocols
? Rights & responsibilities of mentors and mentees
? Peer review
? Complexities of collaborative science
No registration is necessary.

Communication Writing Center FAQ
Our communication writing center is currently a volunteer-based center staffed by Communication graduate students, teaching assistants, and research assistants. We welcome drop-in sessions during the hours posted.
Where is the Writing Center? CMU 222
We share this space with the Speaking Center and various other activities. This quarter, we are offering a few sessions in the Advising office as well (CMU 118). See the schedule for specific times.
Who can use center?
The center is designed to help students taking communication courses and/or prospective and current communication majors.
What kinds of projects can the tutors help with?
We can read drafts of essays and papers for class, as well as application essays, statements of purpose etc. Think of us not as “writing experts” but rather as interested and informed readers. We’ll provide another pair of eyes on your work in a low-pressure environment.
While we’re happy to help you at any stage of the writing process, you will probably get the most out of a session if you bring a draft of what you are working on.
What to expect?
We generally think of sessions to last about 20 minutes. As such, we may not be able to address all of your concerns or the issues in your writing. Instead, we will focus on a few key areas for improvement per session.
Because this is drop-in, we are never entirely sure if there will be a wait or not. The best advice we can offer is come early, come often.

The first CV Workshop is this Wednesday, October 14, 2009 from 1:00pm to
2:30pm, Mary Gates 191 A, but there are more to come. Flyers are attached
and a forwardable message is below.

***************************************************************************
********************************************
Do you need to write a personal statement for a scholarship, research or
graduate school application but aren't sure where to start? Do you need to
prepare a CV or academic resume, but aren't sure what it is or what should
be on it? Consider attending an upcoming workshop offered by the Office of
Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards:
Personal Statement Workshops
The Personal Statement is an important part of all applications for
scholarships, internships, or graduate/professional programs. This type of
writing requires you to outline your strengths confidently and concisely,
which can be challenging. These Personal Statement Workshops will provide
you with essential information to begin writing about your interests,
eligibility, and suitability.
Space is limited, so please register for one of these workshops at:
https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/scholarq/71650
* October 21, 2009 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm, Mary Gate 191 A
* December 2, 2009 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm, Mary Gate 191 A
CV Writing Workshops
Develop your undergraduate CV/Resume for use in scholarship, fellowship,
research opportunities and graduate school applications. These workshops
will aid students in the development of a Curriculum Vitae ("CV" or
"vitae"). A CV is similar to a resume, but allows students to take
advantage of a free format, to reflect the strength of their achievements.
Students interested in the workshop should bring a working draft, such as an
existing resume, a list of activities, honors, awards, and prizes, received
no longer than 5 years ago, academic and research activities, community
service involvement, work history, and activities outside of the academic
environment.
Space is limited, so please register for one of these workshops at:

NLL JOURNALISM INTERNSHIP
Introduction
Congratulations on being selected to work with the National Lacrosse League and the NLL.com team! With this internship, you will delve into the world of sports writing by covering an NLL team throughout the entire 2010 season. You will have the opportunity to participate in weekly coaches conference calls with media, watch games from the press box, interview National Lacrosse League players and have your stories published on NLL.com.
You will be assigned a team prior to the regular season, and will submit game previews for your team’s eight home games and conduct game night reporting of your team’s eight away games. Additionally, you will be asked to submit two feature stories on the team you are covering throughout the season.
Working with the NLL.com team, you will have the opportunity to gain experience working as a member of the media, have the opportunity to rub elbows in the highly competitive world of sports business and learn valuable skills that can help you gain a job in the future.
Welcome aboard!
Doug Fritts
Vice President of Communications
Justin Rubino
Operations Executive
GAME PREVIEWS
INSTRUCTIONS:
Coaches Media Conference Calls:
The first part of writing a game preview requires your presence on the weekly Coaches-Media Conference Call. While on the call, you will need to take notes and capture quotes from the coaches that are to be included in your game preview. This call will take place every Wednesday during the NLL season, typically at 1PM Eastern Time. You will be emailed a schedule for the call every week with toll-free dial-in instructions. Please be present for the time frame(s) outlined in the email you receive for your respective team.
Example:
1:00PM – 1:08PM: Colorado @ Calgary (Bob McMahon & Dave Pym)
1:08PM – 1:16PM: Minnesota @ Washington (Mike Lines & Chris Hall)
We also encourage you to ask questions that will help you with your preview. Keep the number of total questions to two or less, as time is limited and print and broadcast media may also have questions. Please be prepared in advance with questions you would like to ask, and email them to faceoff@nll.com the day before the call.
You must act in a professional manner on the call, as there will be members of the media, NLL coaches and NLL representatives participating in the discussion.
When asking a question, state your name and your affiliation (NLL.com).
Example: John Smith from NLL.com would like to ask a question for Coach Tom Ryan
The Moderator will acknowledge your request and give you the go ahead.
Writing a Game Preview
After the coaches call, you will be asked to write a game preview for your team’s upcoming home game. The game preview will initially run on the league website either the day before or the day of the game leading up to the start of the contest. However, you must submit your preview to faceoff@nll.com by 1:00PM Eastern on Thursday, so our editors can review your story and prepare it for the website.
Stats and all other relevant information for writing a preview are available in the stats section on NLL.com. More information will also be available through the league’s new stat providing program: leaguestat.com. If you have further questions on either of these outlets, you can always reach out to anyone on the NLL.com team.
Here are some helpful pointers for writing a game preview for NLL.com:
First Paragraph:
The introduction is the most structured paragraph of your preview and it will appear as the teaser for the story on the NLL.com homepage. Below is an example of what we are looking for with this paragraph:
Example:
The Edmonton Rush (RECORD) hope to stop the red-hot Colorado Mammoth (RECORD) on Friday, when the two teams meet for the first time this season at Pepsi Center. The Mammoth have won three straight, while the Rush look to bounce back after a heartbreaking last-second loss to Arizona last week. Game time is 9pm Eastern.
Note: Be sure to include team names, records, game site and game time.
Body:
The body of the story is where you will provide your analysis of the upcoming game.
Avoid opinions and back up your analysis with facts.
DO NOT say:
"Team A is the best team in the league." -or- "Team B has the best offense in the league."
DO Say:
"Team A has a league-best 11-2 record."
- or -
"Team B leads the league with 150 goals."
NOTE: As representatives of the National Lacrosse League we have to be careful with how we phrase things and must maintain an unbiased stance. We don't want readers thinking that the NLL believes "Team A is the best team in the league."
Keep it to the point:
The game previews should be to the point and we do not need to be “over-creative.” Use quotes from the coaches call to add spice to the story. Let the coaches say it. We’re just presenting the information.
Don’t' Say: "The winner goes to the playoffs, the loser will go golfing."
Say: "The winner goes to the playoffs, the loser will be eliminated from contention."
If the coach says -- "If we lose, we'll be golfing rather than going to the playoffs." – include a quote.
Double check facts & spelling:
This is very important in maintaining the integrity of the website. Double check all stats and facts that you include in your previews. The editors won’t have time to double check every statistic. Also double check the story for spelling (especially player names) and grammar mistakes.
Conclusion:
Like in any style of writing, close the story with a short two or three sentence conclusion and recap the main points of your preview. Do not say “In conclusion…”
An example of a game preview is attached to the end of this manual (Note: the example is somewhat longer than what is required, being that it was a Division Final preview).
GAME NIGHT REPORTING
Home Team:
If your team is home, the majority of your work for the week was completing the game preview. For home games, you will be issued a game credential that will get you into the arena. We will put you in contact with the team’s PR Director, who will advise you on where to pick up your credential. The credential will give you access to the press box. Once in the press box, find a seat and enjoy the game.
The press box is a working area of the arena, therefore you must maintain a professional demeanor in the press box and appropriate attire (business casual) is required. You may also wear your NLL polo shirt if you prefer. There is no cheering allowed in the press box. Additionally, please adhere to any team and arena specific Press Box policies.
While taking in the game, make note of any key plays or highlights, such as any great goals, highlight reel saves or big-time hits. The NLL submits clips of top plays to ESPN’s SportsCenter for consideration on their weekly Top Ten Plays of the Week. The league also puts together a weekly Top Five Plays of the Week highlight which will be composed of suggested plays. If you notice anything worthy, write down a short description of the highlight, the player(s) involved and what time during the game it took place. At the end of the evening, email all of your descriptions to faceoff@nll.com.
At the conclusion of the game, you may interview any players or coaches. Quotes gathered here can be used for you personally, on either future game previews or your feature story, and/or sent to the away team’s journalist if they are relevant for that evening’s game (See below: Visiting Team). If a player had a noteworthy performance (five goals or more, 50 saves, etc), don’t be shy - interview that player! Your quote will likely be added to the game recap for that night. You can use the team media guide to help identify a player, or ask the team’s PR Director to introduce you to the player. Certain games may have a special post-game press conference. In that situation, attend the press conference rather than interviewing individual players or coaches.
Visiting Team:
If your team is on the road, you will be responsible for covering the game on NLL.com. You will watch the game online via the NLL Network and will be required to write a post-game recap to send to faceoff@nll.com.
All games will have a “Watch Live” link attached to the teaser section of the game’s preview. You can watch the live streaming broadcast of your game by clicking this link. It is recommended that you have a broadband connection to view the webcast.
You can also find a live box score of the game at NLL.com to assist you. In the event that you experience technical difficulties with the video, you may need to rely entirely on the box score. While taking in the game, make note of any key plays or highlights, such as any ‘great goals’ or big hits to e-mail to faceoff@nll.com. It is also recommended that you begin writing your recap as the game progresses.
After the conclusion of the game, write a 5-7 paragraph game recap story. The journalist assigned to the home team in your game will be sending you any quotes and key plays that he/she obtained as well. An example of a game recap is attached at the end of this manual. The same rules apply for writing a recap as a preview, although time is now a factor. The sooner the recap is up on the site following the conclusion of a game, the better.
NLL.com FEATURE STORIES
During the course of the season, you will be required to write at least two feature stories on your assigned team, or a specific player on your team. As you follow the team during the course of the season and begin to learn about the players and dynamics of the team, begin tossing around ideas for any interesting storyline you think fans might like to read about. You can pitch your ideas for approval to your editors at anytime.
Your story should include quotes from players and coaches. Your editors can assist you with contacting players for interviews. When interviewing players, please be courteous and remember you are a representative of the National Lacrosse League.
CONCLUSION
Once again, welcome aboard! If you have any questions, at any time, please contact Doug Fritts or Justin Rubino. If your advisor or internship coordinator has any questions they may contact us as well.

Sample Game Preview
MINNESOTA LOOKS TO GAIN GROUND VS. SAN JOSE
Western Conference Playoff Race Heats Up at HP Pavilion
The Minnesota Swarm (5-7) and San Jose Stealth (5-8), two teams separated by one-half game in the West Division, will square off from HP Pavilion on Friday night at 10pm ET.
The Swarm can potentially clinch a playoff berth this weekend, needing a series of events to occur in order to do so. The Swarm have been better on the road this year (4-3) than at home (1-4) and will need to continue their solid road play in San Jose by defeating the Stealth. After that, Minnesota will need to beat Edmonton at home and hope for Edmonton to also lose on Friday to Portland or for Colorado to win twice this weekend.
Swarm head coach Duane Jacobs is not looking that far ahead, though.
“We certainly know what’s at stake at this point. Obviously, both teams, I would think, have a sense of urgency given what’s at stake,” said Jacobs. “We’ve responded in the past with big games. We just have to go in and execute and play well for 60 minutes.”
The Stealth are fresh off a home-and-home split with Portland last week, placing them in fifth place in the West Division, behind Minnesota. San Jose has had no problem scoring goals this year with an offense led by Colin Doyle, Jeff Zywicki, Rhys Duch and Cam Sedgwick. A member of that high-powered unit received some hardware this week when Duch was named the league’s Rookie of the Month for March. Duch scored 10 goals and 10 assists as the Stealth went 2-3 for the month.
To continue its drive towards the playoffs, San Jose will need its defense to perform like it did in last Sunday’s 13-8 win over Portland. Goaltender Tyler Richards played 55:45 in his most extensive action of the year, making 43 saves and only allowing six goals after fellow Stealth goaltender Matt Roik allowed the first two shots he faced to get past him.
“Our playoff lives are on the line. For all intents and purposes, this is a playoff game for us,” said Stealth head coach Chris Hall. “We have to play and prepare like this is it.”
Sample Game Recap
EDMONTON RALLIES PAST TORONTO, 12-9
Palidwor, Rush defense stifle Rock in fourth quarter
Curtis Palidwor recorded a season-high 50 saves to lift the Edmonton Rush past the Toronto Rock, 12-9, in front of 11,547 fans at Rexall Place on Friday. Palidwor held Toronto scoreless in the fourth quarter as Edmonton scored six straight to rally for the win. Randy Daly scored four goals and Jamie Bowen scored three for the Rush (3-3), who snapped a three-game losing streak.
Edmonton trailed after three quarters, 9-6, but Palidwor and the Rush defense stood their ground as the offense got into a rhythm. Jason Wulder, Chris Gill and Daly scored consecutive goals within the first two minutes to tie the game, and Bowen added the eventual game-winner three minutes later. Daly delivered an insurance goal at 8:35 and defenseman Andrew Turner put the nail in the coffin with an empty-netter at 13:12.
Daly matched a career-high with his four goal performance. The 22-year-old forward had just seven goals over 11 games in 2007.
Wulder and Gill chipped in two goals apiece for the Rush.
Edmonton's penalty killers were a big part of their victory, as they held Toronto scoreless on all five of their power play opportunities. On the other end of the floor, the Rush went 2-for-3 on the man-advantage.
Aaron Wilson had three goals for the Rock, while Ryan Benesch and Matt Shearer each added two for Toronto (4-2). Bob Watson made 25 saves in the loss.
Edmonton travels to San Jose next Saturday, while Toronto hosts Colorado on Friday.
