IR/PS:
Training Future “Citizens of the World”
For students at UCSD’s Graduate School of International Relations
and Pacific Studies (IR/PS), summer-abroad internships offer
an important step toward building their
future career success in business, government, and nonprofit organizations
throughout the world. These unpaid internships allow graduate students
an opportunity to expand their horizons and gain valuable real-world
experience. But, for many, the cost can be difficult to finance.
You can make a huge difference in
the lives of these students and their efforts to
be “citizens of the world” by becoming a Summer Internship
Program sponsor. Gifts from $1,300 to $1,800 help fund international
travel expenses and provide a small living stipend for students
studying in China, Japan, Korea and Latin America. In addition
to internship support, there are many levels of giving within the
IR/PS community. Recently ranked in the top ten among the nation’s best schools
for studying foreign
affairs, IR/PS is the only professional school of international
relations in the UC system. Established in the mid 1980s, today
the school plays a key role in UCSD’s renewed focus on globalization
and international activities.
