The UM European Union “Jean Monnet” Chair is offering an innovative program combining an internship training and individualized research supervision. Available to all undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Miami, it is sponsored by a grant awarded by the European Union. A certificate of expertise will be issued for successful trainees. This experience is highly valued when applying for internships at EU sites or other private and government employment.

Students will be able to choose among a variety of topics for research, following some of the current issues facing the EU, the US and Latin America. The internship training includes functions assigned in think-tank institutions and international agencies, such as data-collecting, documents development, social media, briefings and lecture reporting.

I attended Florida International University where I received a Bachelor's degree in International Relations and Political Science. When I first began college I thought that I wanted to join the Army but after doing ROTC for a year I realized it wasn’t for me. Instead I decided that I wanted to join the Peace Corps and was consistently making moves to do that. I was and still am very passionate about international affairs and politics so I joined clubs and cultivated friendships with people who had similar interests. During my college years I made sure to travel around the United States as much as possible, even though I didn’t have that much money. I managed to organize a lot of road trips with friends from my university and had amazing times!
