Office of the Chancellor, Outreach and Community Engagement, CU Boulder

“I adored my time as the Government / Political Science Intern. In this role, I wore many hats to support the varied work that the Office of Government and Community Engagement engages in. My tasks ranged from research projects pertaining to federal policy and community stakeholders, to drafting materials needed to support events, doing event management and advance work for events with visiting politicians, and various community engagement projects. In this role, I had the opportunity to support and build CU Boulder’s brand, grow local and regional partnerships, and engage in coalitions with key stakeholders, including community partners with minoritized identities. This internship is what you make of it, and I was lucky to work with a team that was as dedicated to my personal and professional growth as I am. The work this office does is incredibly rewarding to be part of. I feel very grateful for the opportunities that this position has brought into my life. ”

“I had the best experience working with the Office of Government and Community Engagement (OGCE). In my role, I had the opportunity to collaborate with campus leadership in OGCE and the Infrastructure & Sustainability (I&S) department to research funding opportunities for campus sustainability projects. This position helped me deepen my knowledge of key federal and state climate policies while learning about campus sustainability initiatives. I gained experience conducting research, writing grants, and managing independent projects. I also got to meet and collaborate with different stakeholders across campus. I'm so grateful for the mentorship and support that I have gotten from the entire team. I highly recommend working with OGCE.”
