The SAIS Women Lead Practicum partners SAIS students with public, private, and non-governmental organizations and provides professional experiences through projects that advance women and contribute solutions to issues of global importance. Student teams work with clients to produce reports, policies or programs. Students will also be expected to participate in a research assignment during Winter Break (travel may be required). Upon their return, teams proceed to analyze, interpret and present results of findings to the SAIS community and clients. Students audit the course in the fall semester (in additional to their full load) and take the Practicum as a 4-credit course in the spring semester as part of their load. The application deadline is August 15. Students will be selected and notified on or before August 28. To be considered, please email the following to saiswomenlead@jhu.edu: 1. A statement of interest, which answers the question: What is your goal in participating in the practicum and how do you think this experience will help you achieve your goal?, 2. A Resume/CV, and 3. An unofficial copy of your SAIS transcript (2nd-year students) and a prior degree transcript (first-year students). * Students audit the Practicum in the fall semester as their 5th course and take the Practicum as a 4-credit course in the spring semester as their 4th course. <a href="http://bit.ly/1bebp5s" target="_blank">Click here to see evaluations, syllabi, and faculty bios</a>
