Subject: Spring 2014 Internships at the Middle East Institute

Hi Everyone,

My name is Alexandra BetGeorge, and I am the internship coordinator at the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC. We are currently seeking applicants for our spring internship program, and we would be thrilled with the opportunity to consider students from Portland State University. In the past, we have been very pleased with the caliber of interns we receive from Portland State and would like to continue that relationship into the future.

The Middle East Institute offers an array of internship opportunities to engage with a wide cross-section of professional interests and talents.  Our Publications interns, for instance, work alongside our Managing Editor to produce The Middle East Journal — the oldest, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to Middle East research — while our Programs and Communications interns organize events which bring together experts from around the world to discuss the most current issues facing the Middle East.  Moreover, the Middle East Institute works to ensure that the interns are compensated for their contributions through free language classes, daily travel reimbursement, subscriptions to the Journal, and programming dedicated to professional growth, such as our Intern Development Series.

Attached you will find a flier containing information about our internship program.  Feel free to distribute this flier to any students or alumni who might be interested and encourage them to find out more information on our website:

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via phone or email.  I look forward to corresponding with you soon.

Best regards,

Alexandra BetGeorge
