PLEN's Women and Public Policy Internship Semester is the only Washington, DC internship program devoted exclusively to women and public policy and designed specifically for women students who want to make a difference in the public policy arena. Participants work as interns with women leaders in policy organizations and agencies. Recent internship placements include: ~ Center for Women Policy Studies ~ NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund ~ Tahirih Justice Center ~ Ovarian Cancer National Alliance ~ International Center for Research on Women ~ Girls Incorporated EMILY's List~ Office on Women's Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ~ National Coalition Against Domestic Violence ~ American Association of University Women As a national consortium of women's colleges working together to prepare women for public leadership, PLEN has been placing women students in challenging public policy internships since 1991, helping them find the internship that best matches their interests and skills. Students receive individualized attention in the placement process and throughout the internship. The students also participate in a weekly seminar on Women and Work in the Public Policy Arena. As part of this seminar, students meet and learn about a variety of issues and the policy process from women leaders in advocacy and policy research organizations, Congress and government agencies. The application deadline is July 11, 2005. PLEN may be able to accept applications after the deadline. Interested students should contact the PLEN office as soon as possible to discuss the application and placement process.

May 12, 7pm Michigan Union, 2nd floor, Room 2105B The Michigan Battered Women's Clemency Project is a grassroots nonprofit group (3 attorneys, 1 artist/UofM professor, 1 activist/founder, plus volunteer attorneys, former prisoners, domestic violence professionals, students, and citizens) seeking freedom for women wrongly convicted of murder who killed their abusers in self defense but never received fair trials or due process based on the facts of their cases. These are women who are serving life or long term sentences in Michigan prisons. This summer we are again preparing clemency petitions for a group of these women to ask Governor Granholm to consider their cases, writing letters of support for women to the parole board, researching new cases, doing publicity, planning the fall rally, and other advocacy and visibility efforts. If you are willing to attend 6-8 meetings over the summer and do research and/or advocacy on behalf of women prisoners, come to the first meeting and/or please contact Carol Jacobsen, jacobsen@umich.edu |
