GenCen Internships
Internships with a focus on gender, social justice, and environmental issues
Program Description
The Center for Gender in Global Context (GenCen) Internship Program offers internship coordination services and support to MSU undergraduate and graduate students. Students may elect to participate in internships linked to the Gender, Justice, and Environmental Change Internship Program, or to those formerly coordinated by the Women, Gender, and Social Justice Internship Program. Through either of these programs, students will intern with leading organizations working at the local, national, and international levels on gender-related social justice or environmental issues. The internships are open to students from any MSU department or college. Each student intern will work with a supervisor from the host organization and from within his or her department or college, benefiting from the supervisor's experience and expertise in gender, environmental, and/or social justice fields.
