If your major is listed incorrectly or you have a declared minor that is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY and email the Office of the Registrar Degree Certification team at dc@lists.gatech.edu. If your minor is not appearing because you haven't yet declared it, then you must do that first (refer to instructions in point #1 with information on how to do this). Schedule an appointment with me to take care of declaring your minor.

The Public Service Fellows Program at the Partnership for Public Service is an opportunity for undergraduate students, graduate students and recent graduates to participate directly in transforming the way government works while developing valuable professional skills.

At the Partnership, fellows are assigned substantive and meaningful work that is integral to the day-to-day operations, programs and activities of our organization. Fellows’ duties vary across the Partnership’s internal teams, but often include event planning and execution, conducting research, writing and preparing correspondence, and conducting outreach to external partners, such as government agencies and colleges and universities.

True to the Partnership’s emphasis on people, the fellows program incorporates opportunities for professional and personal growth through workshops and trainings specifically geared toward students and young professionals. Fellows also receive the following stipends:

• Full-time fellows with an undergraduate or graduate degree receive $1000 per month.
• Full-time fellows who are currently undergraduate students receive $800 per month.
• Stipends for part-time fellows will be pro-rated accordingly.

Who Should Apply

The Partnership strives to be an inclusive organization that fosters learning, collaboration and respect. We actively recruit for diversity in our workplace, believing that a range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences contributes to our mission of revitalizing government. We seek extraordinary undergraduate students, graduate students and recent graduates with:

• A commitment to public service
• Strong written and oral communication
• Analytical thinking
• An ability to work well in teams

There is no single academic major or background we prefer over another—if you share our passion and are committed to developing your skills while gaining valuable experience, we want to hear from you!

New Master’s degree in Historical and Cultural Visualization at Duke University. 

As you know, digital technologies are transforming the ways in which we can engage with the history of works of art, architecture, and cities, both in terms of research as well as to communicate the history of places and things to the public. At Duke, we have been teaching and training our students at all levels (from first years through post-docs) with the digital technologies that are appropriate for our discipline. If you would like to see examples of the work we have been doing, please visit our website: http://www.dukewired.org/research/

The Duke Wired! team has found that digital tools are transformative in our teaching and research, and as a result we designed an 18-month M.A. program to train future art historians, historians, museum professionals and archaeologists with a range of appropriate technologies, including the following:

• Content Management Systems (WordPress)
• Digital Collections Building and Management (Omeka/Neatline)
• Basic GIS/Mapping (ArcGIS, qGIS, OpenStreetMaps, GoogleEarth)
• Basic Data Visualization (Tableau, D3, web applications such as Palladio)
• Video Production (iMovie)
• Image Manipulation (Photoshop)
• 3D Modeling (Sketchup) 

Our application is available online at this site: http://gradschool.duke.edu/admissions/application-instructions. For Fall 2015, the application deadline is January 31, 2015.

If you have questions about the application process or the MA program, please email me at c.bruzelius@duke.edu, orhannah.jacobs@duke.edu.

Applying to graduate or professional school? Come learn about the graduate school application process and talk with faculty and current graduate students! This workshop will be held on December 4 at 11:00Am in the Old CE Building Room 104. Pizza and drinks will be provided!

MA/MSc in International and World History 
Columbia University and the London School of Economics

The world is more interconnected than ever. Join leading historians to study how we arrived here. An innovative curriculum includes a two-year sequence of reading and research seminars, interdisciplinary electives, and intensive foreign language training. The program provides the students with new frameworks and tools to understand the transnational forces that have shaped our world: migration, trade, war, technology, epidemic disease, and environmental change. At the heart of the program is the two-year dissertation, an original scholarly work based on empirical research and analysis.
Students spend the first year in New York and the second year in London and receive Master’s degrees from both institutions. Immersed in the vibrant intellectual communities of two of the world’s greatest cities, graduates are prepared for careers in government, journalism, think tanks, NGOs, and academia.
The program offers summer research fellowships and financial aid opportunities.
Apply by March 2, 2015.
