Every student on the GIW program participates in an internship that lasts at least 12 weeks. The internship is Monday- Thursday, approximately 32 hours a week, but much of the learning from the internship takes place through the activities of an internship seminar that all students take once a week. Students look for an internship using WUSTL in D.C.'s Program Director and Grinnell College's Career Development Office as resources. Science students in particular might also find their faculty to be helpful sources of recommendations, based on a student's interests. See the GIW Student Handbook for a more detailed description.

See "GIW Events" and http://www.grinnell.edu/files/downloads/sp13_workshops_website.pdf for some different upcoming events that will help prepare you for the internship search.

The possibilities for internships are endless! A selection of the internships that previous GIW students have had are listed below. For a complete list of all internships done in DC by Grinnell College students, please search the Career Development Office database.
