Dylan J. – Government & Politics, Summer 2018

“In just the few short weeks I’ve been in Israel, my internship at the Jerusalem Institute of Justice has been everything I was looking for in a summer internship, and so much more. I have already had the opportunity to attend a committee hearing at the Knesset, to write a position paper regarding minority communities in Israel, have analyzed current conflicts that exist around Israel, and in the region, and how they impact everyday Israeli lives. As a Political Science major, I was definitely looking for an internship that would engage my desires to do formal research, write legal analysis, and study public policy, and this internship has given me a chance to do all those things. Learning and living in the heart of Jerusalem has been nothing shy of an incredible experience, and I’m beyond excited to see what is in store for me in the next few weeks.”
