One of the services that the Keller-Runden Chair provides is helping SPEA students find internship positions in agencies with dispute resolution programs.  As part of its public service mission, the Chair is currently compiling a list of agencies that have expressed an interest in accepting interns to work in their dispute resolution centers.  Some agencies will accept only graduate students, while others will consider undergraduates as well.  These agencies are listed below.  

If you are associated with a conflict resolution program that is able to offer paid or unpaid internships, please click here to send us information about the internship.

In order to apply for the above listed internships, electronic versions of cover letters, resumes, and a list of two references may be sent to lbingham@indina.edu.  If students cannot provide electronic versions, paper versions may be submitted to Lisa Bingham, SPEA 330.  Students should mention in the cover letter what agency (or agencies) they would like to apply for, and rank their preferences.  Requests for internships will be accepted on a rolling basis.  The information will be compiled and forwarded to the dispute resolution programs for hiring decisions.
