The Fraternity and Sorority Life Sexual Assault Prevention Internship

Instructor: Swati Sah, MPH (dfsl...@gmail.com)
 
Internship Overview: Each semester the Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life (DFSL) offers an internship to undergraduate students who are interested in learning more about the interpersonal impact of sexual violence and misconduct and effective prevention and education strategies. Interns will be expected to connect their understanding of these issues with the Social Change Model of Leadership and be able to identify culturally-relevant strategies for talking about and educating about sexual violence and misconduct. Further, interns will develop and evaluate a project to contribute to the DFSL sexual assault prevention programming and provide administrative and technical support to current preexisting programing. This is a three-credit internship that will last the duration of the academic semester.
 
Responsibilities and Duties:  

• Complete 10 hours of work per week on internship tasks and independent readings (6 hours of which will be completed in the DFSL office in the Stamp Student Union)
• Assist with the coordination, development, and facilitation of existing programs
• Communicate with UMD and state-wide community partners as needed
• Be the primary point-person for Chapter Sexual Assault Prevention Liaisons
• Develop, execute, and evaluate a project to contribute to the DFSL sexual assault prevention programming
• Write a culminating paper at the end of the semester coupled with a final presentation delivered to senior DFSL staff 

Qualifications: Potential applicants must have a strong interest in learning more about sexual violence and misconduct and must be either a sophomore, junior, or senior enrolled at the University of Maryland. Although applicants need not have prior experience in this area, preference will be given to those who have participated in the Ten Terp Plan on Sexual Assault Prevention.
 
Application process: If interested in applying, please email the DFSL SAP Graduate Coordinator at dfsl...@gmail.com a copy of your resume and availability for a 30-minute interview. All interviews must be completed at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the semester.

Best,
