U.S. Department of State Alerts

Hey First years,

We are seeing a wave of State Department internship announcements right now. Note many of the internship announcements have cutoffs after the first 100 or 200 applicants (sometimes the first 50!), so the best thing  you can do is set up your own alerts and apply the SECOND you get these announcements. Set up those alerts!
