This program is being run on a Greater China basis, which means that internships will be offered through Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Present Georgetown students will be contacted through a variety of methods, including emails to Chinese majors, Chinese classes, the career center, as well as China-related student clubs.

For alumni employers, this should be a great way to find great talent, as well as contribute to Georgetown.

Proposed Schedule
1. Internship submissions by alumni – Now to December 2009
2. Georgetown student applications – January to March 2010
3. Student internships – June 7th to August 13th

Given that this is pilot program, please let us know if you are interested. We will work with you to get this done.

We wanted to share a letter our previous club president, Caitlin, received from Heart to Heart Shanghai. Last year, the Georgetown club helped to raise money for heart surgery for children. The surgery for Ke Xuanliang cost more than 20,000 RMB, and the club was able to contribute donations through a special Georgetown bear sale.

Dear Caitlin,

I thought that you and your friends would like to know that the profit from your Georgetown Heart Bear order was used in August to co-sponsor heart surgery on a young boy named Ke Xuan Liang from Anhui Province.

With grateful thanks for your support

We wanted to make a call out to our alumni in Shanghai to sign up for the the Alumni Admissions Program (AAP). The AAP is a world wide alumni volunteer organization that conducts the interview process for first year and transfer applicants to Georgetown University. Georgetown is among the few schools in the nation to require an admissions interview, and the AAP membership in Shanghai needs help.

We’re asking our alumni in Shanghai to please sign up — you’ll be making a difference for potential students and the university. Interviews are assigned between September and March.

Sign up to help Georgetown interview students

Feel free to contact us through email if you have any questions or suggestions at gtownchina at gmail.
