Are you interested in a future internship or job in the think tank world?


Looking for something to do over winter break in January? Check out the Road Trips to the Real World program, offering two employer site visits to think tanks in DC on January 10, 2020: American Enterprise Institute (AEI) & the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS). Register for one or both! Read on for more details:


UMD partners with EACE to offer Road Trips to the Real World -- site visits with employers from Virginia to Maine and all points in between! Each site visit is $10 and you must provide your own transportation. Register soon (hurry, some sites will fill very quickly!):

Visit https://www.eace.org/road-trips-to-the-real-world for more information and to register. There are 26 other employer visits happening up and down the east coast in January as well.

Here's more information about the two trips mentioned above:



American Enterprise Institute (January 10, 10 am- 11:30 am): During your visit to AEI, you will have the chance to hear from one of our experts about his/her policy research, career path, and what it is like to work at a think tank. A member of AEI's Talent Development team will present about the Institute's history, the think tank community in DC, and job and internship opportunities at AEI.

Center for Strategic & International Studies (January 10, 1-2 pm): CSIS is a bipartisan, nonprofit policy research organization dedicated to providing strategic insights and policy solutions to help decision makers chart a course toward a better world. During our visit, participants will get an overview of the think tank ecosystem, the impact CSIS has, a few major projects we've worked on and how to get involved with the center through future internships and jobs.

EACE has scheduled these visits to allow you time to travel between both locations and grab lunch. Feel free to sign up for both visits if your schedule allows!
