MIDCM students are required to take a 1-credit practicum course. The following rubric can be used as a guideline when evaluating student applications. However, all experiences are subject to final review by the MIDCM Director. Below you can find a few guidelines to take into consideration. However, please note that approval will be granted after a case-by-case revision. Time commitment: We expect all practicum experiences to account for 100+ hours of engagement throughout the semester/term. Nature of the experience: A broad range of experiences qualify, including paid jobs, research assistantships, volunteering, and entrepreneurship (social and other). International approach: One of the most important aspects of any practicum experience is its international edge. For example, experiences volunteering locally with international communities (refugees, for example) can be considered. Instead, volunteering experiences that focus primarily on a local population with no international ties or background cannot count. Experience Abroad: MIDCM students who gain intensive hands-on experiences abroad may operate through: Alternative Break OR volunteering/interning for a NGO/non-profit/etc. in a foreign country. “Relevant Practicum Experiences”Guided ResearchIndependent ResearchProposal/Grant SupportProgram SupportESL/Language HelpCommunity DevelopmentYouth Engagement ActivitiesEducation Initiatives Cultural AffairsHealth ServicesAdministrative SupportAdministrative “Backstopping”Examples of Past Practicum Experiences:A Wider CircleMcClatchy DC News BureauAJC: Global Jewish AdvocacyMEDLIFEAlternative Break Trip LeaderMhina Turmaini FoundationAlternative BreaksMIDCMAmerica ReadsMiddle East InstituteAmnesty InternationalMuslims Without BordersAmnesty International Mid-Atlantic Regional OfficeNational Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START)Atlas CorpNational Peace Corps AssociationBARDA/ASPR/DHHS in the Office of Emerging Infectious DiseasesNew and Emerging Talent Unit, UNICEF Beit Ligdol TovOffice of Senator Marco RubioBilingual BackpacksOffice on Latin America (WOLA)CASA de MarylandPartners of the AmericasCenter for Civilians in ConflictPeace Corps - FOIA OfficeChillum Internship Program (CHIP)Pediatric AIDS/HIV Care, Inc.CIDCMPeople for Sucessful Corean Reunification (PSCORE)Conflict Solutions InternationalPopulation and Community Development AssociationCouncil on International Educational ExchangeProjects AbroadCOVA Eye Clinic (Unite For Sight, Inc.)Radio Free AsiaCrossroads Community Food NetworkResearch project on stigmatization and HIV/AIDSDepartment of StateRights Watch (UK)EarthjusticeSamanvayaEngineers Without BordersSchool of Public Health, Family Science DepartmentEnvironmental Law InstituteSearch for Common GroundEthiopian Global InitiativeSeeds of Peace International Camp Fabretto Children's FoundationSeoul Academy International SchoolFeingold Senate CommitteeShare and Care FoundationFood & Water WatchSHAWCOForeign Policy MagazineSierra Student Coalition/Sierra ClubFPDL, local NGOSt. Lucia Hospice and OrphanageFreedom HouseSTART Center, Minorities at Risk DatabaseGemstone Program (worked at NIH and with the FDA)Stop Hunger NowGenetic Alliance DCStudents Helping HondurasGooruStudy Abroad in IndonesiaGrameen Foundation USASummer Study Abroad - Alexandria, EgyptHarambe EndeavorSyrian American CouncilHealthy YouthThe American Psychological Association, Office of Ethnic Minority Affairs (OEMA)Hearts and Minds "Information for Change & The end poverty campaign" The Borgen ProjectHepatitis Foundation InternationalThe Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK)HOPE/Ameri CorpsThe Foundation for Defense of DemocraciesHouse Committee on Foreign AffairsThe Fund for PeaceHuman Development and Capabilities AssociationThe National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START)ICONS ProjectTostan InternationalICONS ProjectU.S. Campaign for BurmaInternational Justice Mission UMD CIDCM Special Projects Unit: Minorities at RiskInternational Leadership AssociationUMD Global Dental BrigadesInternational Rescue CommitteeUn Techo Para ChileInternational Volunteer HeadquartersUndergraduate Research ProgramInvisible ChildrenUPMC Center for Health SecurityIRIS CenterUS Department of Homeland Security, US Citizenship and Immigration ServicesJust 4 Us FoundationUS Department of State, Office of East Asian & Pacific Affairs, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights & LaborKibbutz Program CenterUS Securities and Exchange CommissionKwak Lab - Biosciences ResearchUSAID and The Environmental Law Institute (ELI)La Casa De Maria Amor, Women’s ShelterWater Justice DulcepambaLearning Enterprises - Romania/CroatiaWest Lanham Hills Volunteer Fire DepartmentLinking LivesWomen Moving Forward pre-release conference Living Water International Yahel: Israel Service LearningMaryland Study Abroad and International Partners in El SalvadorYoung in PrisonMary's Center for Maternal and Child Care ................
