Subject:National Security Internship Opportunity for students of Arabic

Dear Colleague,

I am contacting you regarding a wonderful opportunity that is  
available to your students this coming summer here at The George  
Washington University.  My hope is you might assist us in getting  
this enclosed PDF brochure and link  
www.nationalsecurityinternship.com exposed to interested students who  
are studying or speak Arabic regarding this new program.

The National Security Internship is an intensive eight-week, full  
immersion summer program that combines Arabic language, Homeland  
Security, Intelligence and Area Studies, and On-the-Job-Training  
experience at U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or FBI  
Headquarters.  Students will receive an all-expense paid summer in  
the nation's capital, including travel to Washington, D.C., 12  
transferable GWU college credits, full room and board at The George  
Washington University and an internship at DHS or FBI Headquarters.

This program aims to develop the capacity of high-achieving  
undergraduate and graduate college students with critical skills, who  
also possess a higher degree of cultural competencies. It is not  
designed to develop a cadre of translators but rather to build a  
national security workforce of individuals and encourage them toward  
potential careers at the DHS or FBI.  The National Security  
Internship will be open to only 20 qualified applicants who are able  
to meet the requirements to be granted a top-secret clearance and  
have an Arabic rating score of 1+ or higher.  All applications must  
be submitted by December 7, 2007.

I can also send you hard copies of the brochure so that you can hand  
them out to those qualified students that you feel would benefit from  
this opportunity.  Simply email me back and I will be happy to do  
so.  Additionally, if you have any questions or need additional  
information, please do not hesitate to contact me at  
info at nationalsecurityinternship.com

Thank you in advance for your time and kind assistance.

Sincerely,

Mohssen Esseesy, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor & Coordinator of the Arabic Program
The George Washington University
