Dear members of BUSL APALSA,

Please take a note of the following information:

1. AALAM Holiday Party on December 3rd:

RSVP through: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fjX4cOR35eKHweGVrvsUiuhvQOdzLqvhNfbFyZApHCQ/viewform?c=0&w=1

2. The Global Internship Program:

City Internships has received a record number of applications to the Global Internship Program from incredibly bright students. As a result, applications for the 2016 spring programs will be closing soon.

Our spring programs are filling quickly and the same is true of our summer programs. I therefore encourage students interested in our summer programs to apply sooner, rather than later. Places on our summer programs are filling quickly and the application process may close earlier than anticipated as a result.

Students can apply via: http://city-internships.com/apply/

Campus Ambassador Program

I am pleased to announce that the Campus Ambassador Program is now open for applications. Interested students should send their resume to campusam...@city-internships.com.

The application process for our Campus Ambassador scheme is competitive, since we only offer three ambassador places per college.

Besides giving you the opportunity to develop and showcase creative, entrepreneurial and self-starting qualities on your resume, the Campus Ambassador Program has some great rewards, including a fully sponsored place on the program in London, New York or Los Angeles plus a Macbook, round-trip flights and accommodation.

Please do share the Campus Ambassador Program with interested students.

This will be my penultimate communication of 2015. I would like to wish you a very happy holidays.

Kind regards,

Lewis Talbot
