The Washington Center (TWC) runs a full-time internship program in Washington, D.C., that is open to all UW students (all majors welcome) and provides comprehensive service, including internship placement and housing. Placements include government agencies, corporations, nonprofits, museums and international organizations. Hundreds of UW students have participated in this program since UW's affiliation in 1977, and many made connections that led to post-degree employment.

At the informational meetings, a Washington Center representative and I will discuss the structure of the program, scholarships and the application process.

For 2013 the quarterly program cost is $5,995 and the housing cost is $3,985. In addition, students pay for 15 UW credits, transportation, and personal expenses. Students are eligible to use their financial aid for this program and many scholarships are available that can bring the cost of attending close to the cost of a quarter at UW. For Autumn 2013, TWC guarantees a scholarship of at least $2500 for all UW students.

TWC's facilities are accessible to students who have disabilities. In addition, their Disability Services Coordinator will assist with accommodation at the internship and programming sites.

These are the upcoming application deadlines (for a full list of organizations that have earlier deadlines see http://www.twc.edu/node/11029):
Autumn Quarter/Semester 2013 (Aug-Nov or Dec), Competitive*: 5/3/13, Regular: 6/14/13

Regardless of your major, there is an internship in D.C. for you! Whether you want to do an internship this year or in three years, come to an information session to learn more. If you can't make it, contact me, Meera Roy, for an appointment (available online at https://depts.washington.edu/polsadvc/signup.php). Information is also available at TWC's website, www.twc.edu

• An invitation to attend the Student Reception and the Student Awards Luncheon.

UW will also have a booth during the entire conference. This will highlight some of the research that takes place both within our department, and across the University.

**************     

Dear Students,

We’d like to take this opportunity to invite the University of Washington to showcase your school’s activities and projects from a complimentary booth at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) this June 4-6. The IMS is one of the largest technical conferences and trade shows, covering all aspects of high frequency technologies and industry. The conference was last held in the Pacific Northwest in 2002 and we are excited to once again host IMS in Seattle at the Washington State Convention Center, where we will be able to focus the world’s attention on our universities, industries, culture, and environment.

I hope you will seriously consider making a reservation for a university booth. We believe that it will provide your school and your projects exposure to thousands of engineers and technical leaders in the radio frequency, microwave, and millimeter wave industries.  The opportunity to interact with leading industry professionals could lead to collaboration with key industry partners or inspire your next great innovation.  Meeting the many product representatives could also lead to invaluable contacts that ultimately provide sources of products and processes necessary for your continued research.

The IMS would also like to invite your students to serve as volunteers who help with many tasks that are critical to the success of the conference. IMS student volunteers receive a valuable introduction to the engineering community and to the high frequency industry. The experience of volunteering at IMS can lead to industry contacts that may eventually lead into a job and a career.  Student volunteers also receive some great perks, including:

• Free conference registration
• Free registration for a workshop for each full day of additional work (half day for a half day workshop).
• Food and beverages will be provided during hours of service, including breakfast, lunch, and snacks.  What student doesn’t love a free meal!
• Eligibility to win great raffle prizes and have the opportunity to attend special events.
• An invitation to attend the Student Reception and the Student Awards Luncheon.

Please encourage your students to participate in what we believe is an invaluable experience. Students can find more information, including the registration form, at http://www.ims2013.org/student-volunteers.html. The deadline to register as a student volunteer is May 1^st. Any questions should be directed to Ryan Pang (rpang.IMS2013@gmail.com, 425-237-9549).

We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to be a part of IMS. Please contact Candi Wooldridge (Candi@mpassociates.com, 303-530-4562) for more information on university booths. Booth registration is done on a first-come-first-served basis; the deadline to register is April 15^th.

Additional conference information can be found on the IMS website: http://www.ims2013.org. We look forward to seeing you at the conference.

Sincerely,

Tom Raschko
