Internship Experience

The best part of interning at the Institute of World Politics is meeting the people who are so dedicated to IWP’s mission of soft power and classic American values. 

My summer as an intern at The Institute of World Politics was an unforgettable experience.  From the moment I began to my last days at IWP, I always found myself being challenged and learning more about the unique mission. I can’t say enough about how exceptional my time at IWP was this summer — it…

Coming from The Citadel Military College of South Carolina, National Security and International Affairs play a large role in not only the ROTC department, but in multiple other civilian majors as well.

My internship at The Institute of World Politics has been nothing short of a great experience.  I have learned so much from the faculty, staff, and everyone else here.

During the summer of 2018, I had the opportunity to intern and conduct research at The Institute of World Politics in the heart of Washington, D.C. 

This summer, IWP welcomed 22 interns from colleges and universities across the country.

As a rising college senior, securing a great summer internship was my top priority for my final summer of undergrad. 

Interning at IWP was an experience of immeasurable value. In terms of the knowledge and experience gained, working on the Counterterrorism Group team under Derrick Dortch’s supervision, I grasped how the Intelligence Community operates day to day, and I had the opportunity to conduct analyses on the gravest threats to national security. 

This summer, I had the incredible experience of interning at The Institute of World Politics. I worked on two separate research teams: The Cyber Security Team and The Counter Terrorism team.

IWP is hands-down the best experience I could have asked for when coming to D.C. I come from a small school in Colorado called Regis University, and I learned of IWP through The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) summer program.
