The Office of Social Equity & Community is now accepting applications for its newly created internship program designed for a small group of Penn undergraduates. These students will work closely with the Directors of the office to design and oversee initiatives that promote and support communication, collaboration, and research within the Penn community. Together they will seek to advance the University’s mission of fostering social equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Each intern will have two primary areas of responsibility. First, they with seek to integrate the values of the Office with their own specific area of study or research, bringing their own gifts and interests to bear on a particular aspect of social equity and community. In this, they will seek to answer the question, “How can I uniquely address the evident inequalities at Penn and in greater Philadelphia?” Additionally, each intern will participate in the ongoing and officially established initiatives of the Office. Opportunities may include but are not limited to story gathering, writing, event planning/staffing, and research. They will have opportunities to work both individually and collaboratively, to participate in a learning community, and receive coaching and mentorship. Participants will have a strong voice in the shaping of the internship’s format, trajectory, values, and goals. Additionally, each student will receive a stipend for participating. We in the Office of Social Equity & Community are eager for student involvement as we initiate hard conversations related to inequities and imbalances in order to encourage others toward restorative change for the betterment of Penn, its neighbors, and the world. For more information or a copy of the application, please contact Scott Filkin. Scott Filkin Director, Office of Social Equity & Community [email protected]
