Course Description:
Students gain practical "hands-on" experience at a preapproved organization where they develop atrocity prevention skills and learn about the application of the GMAP coursework in the professional workplace. The seminar is the academic component of the internship where students will address relevant professional and career development issues pertaining to the nature of their experience through journaling, assignments, research papers and class presentations and peer feedback.
Course Objectives:
The Internship seminar is intended to provide a safe and intellectually stimulating space in which student interns can discuss their experiences, reflect on the application of GMAP coursework to the internship, and deepen their own sense of personal and professional values and ethics.
