Welcome from the Director
Welcome to the
Edward T. Rogowsky Internship Program in Government and Public Affairs.
This is a truly unique program, and I continue to feel immense excitement
at being associated with such a distinguished group of students, faculty
and administrators. While anyone who knew him knows that
Ed Rogowsky cannot be replaced, it is a very special honor to carry his mantle—to
bring “education for the public service” to the students of The City
University of New York. It is in that spirit that I view our on-going
mission: To make it possible for student interns at all of our
participating colleges to experience the importance of acting in the
public interest; to help them discover who they are by serving others; and
to give them the opportunity to see, first-hand, that “government” is not
so far away, that it is right here, and that it can be a vehicle to
personal fulfillment in the midst of making things better for our
communities.
I hope that this will be one
of many visits to our website. Not only will the site allow you to keep
track of those public service learning opportunities that are regularly
available, such as the Internship & Seminar in Government and Public
Affairs each semester, or the New York State Legislative Internship Programs
in Albany each spring. Even more, it will enable you to learn about new
and exciting initiatives, all intended to bolster your intellectual progress,
while preparing you for a complex world outside of the classroom.
Don’t be shy. If you
can’t find what you’re looking for, then just ask for it!
Anthony
