Interns develop an important skill set that will undoubtedly empower them in their future careers. Moreover, interns participate in peace- and security-building projects of national and international significance. Our interns are paired with dedicated professionals working to advance defense and security issues through innovative and strategic thinking. </p> <p>Interns actively contribute to ongoing research agendas and may have opportunities to craft their own projects in line with the Center's mission. Interns write pieces for our web resource, the <a href="http://gsm.c4ads.org"> <i>Global Security Monitor</i></a> on relevant security issues on a day-to-day basis, attend conferences and events at other think tanks and policy institutes of relevance to their focus areas, and offer research support for the Center’s quarterly journal, <a href="http://www.c4ads.org/defense_concepts"> <i>Defense Concepts</i></a>. Often, interns attend informal lectures at the Center from CADS Fellows on their work and area of expertise. Through this experience, students will acquire hands-on research experience and insight into future career opportunities.</p> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:36:58 -0400
