LEADERSHIP IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
|
| |
Hampden-Sydney's principal vehicle for preparing undergraduates for careers in government is the
Public Service Certificate Program. The sixteen-credit-hour requirement includes an internship
and a major research paper. Students prepare for their internships in a special seminar, and take
courses in Ethics, Economics, Psychology, and Public Speaking. Students meet with elected and
career public servants in Richmond and Washington, D.C., as well as on campus.

Summer internships...

All these activities
prepare students to take the step from academic study to meaningful
public service. Students in the program receive a certificate acknowledging completion of
the requirements of the Public Service Program at an awards presentation
in the spring of their senior year. Beginning in 2008, public service is also recognized as a minor on their transcripts. |
"... great summer internships! I have friends who went to London, Prague and Washington, D.C., and others found internships at home. You can do your internship almost anywhere
you choose.
Another great aspect of the program is the wonderful speakers
it brings to
Hampden-Sydney. In one semester we had
presidential and gubernatorial candidates on
campus...
The Center and Hampden-Sydney bring the world to you."
- Ryan Pemberton '00
Student internships have been arranged
at the White House, in the Office of the Vice-President, on Capitol Hill, the American
Embassies in Brazil and Turkey, the United States Information Services office in the
Czech Republic, the Virginia Port Authority in Belgium, and the European Parliament,
as well as with state and local government agencies from Pennsylvania to Texas.
The Commonwealth Program allows students to intern part time with members of the Virginia General Assembly. |
