Subject:National Security Internship Program at GWU Summer 2009


Dear Colleague,

I am contacting you regarding a wonderful opportunity that is  
available to your students Summer 2009 at The George Washington  
University.  My hope is you might assist us in getting this link  
HYPERLINK "http://www.nationalsecurityinternship.com"www.nationalsecurityinternship.com 
  exposed to interested students who are studying or speak Arabic  
regarding this 2nd year program and internship.

The National Security Internship is an intensive nine-week, full  
immersion summer program that combines Arabic language, Arab Film &  
Cultural Studies, National Security Seminars and an internship  
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., 11  
transferable GWU college credits, full room and board at The George  
Washington University and an exciting 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. Program dates are June 8 through August  
7, 2009 and all applications must be submitted by September 30, 2008.

You can also pass along this link to view the National Securing  
Internship brochure -  HYPERLINK "http://intranet.edventurepartners.com/nsi_brochure.pdf 
" http://intranet.edventurepartners.com/nsi_brochure.pdf   I can also  
send you hard copies of this 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 HYPERLINK "mailto: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
