NYU Steinhardt Student Matters

Hello from NYU Libraries! Just a reminder that we’re here for you as you finish up the semester.
– The Libraries have extended hours during the end of the semester, including 24-hour access to Bobst Library during the finals period.
– Bobst Library offers expanded seating in various locations throughout the building, including the 6th, 9th and 10th floors, as well as in the Avery Fisher Center on 2 and on the lower levels.
– Bobst offers a number of amenities during crunch time, including free coffee, snacks, and relaxation and wellness resources through our  partnership with the NYU Wellness Center. Look for signs throughout the library for more information on accessing these amenities.
– Don’t forget to renew your library materials before you head out for the summer. Log in to your library account via BobCat and click on “My Library Account” to see your loans and renew online. For more information about what we have to offer for graduate students, see http://library.nyu.edu/grads .
Best of luck on the end of the semester!

The NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development is thrilled to announce the launch of the Summer Funded Internship Award! This $1,000 award affords students the opportunity to participate in career exploration and experiential learning through unpaid career-related internships, gives students access to professional networks in the US and abroad, and facilitates the lifelong learning skills associated with solid career development.

This can be a tremendous opportunity for students who want to gain relevant professional experience, but give up valuable learning opportunities due to financial considerations. In order to be considered for the Summer Funded Internship Award, students must:

• Be enrolled full time in an undergraduate or graduate degree-granting program at NYU and earn at least a 3.0 GPA (students are NOT required to take summer classes to be eligible)
• Be a member of the Class of 2013, 2014, or 2015
• Have secured an unpaid internship at a non-profit or other organization that does not traditionally pay its interns (e.g. Arts, Entertainment, Media Related, etc) in the US or abroad. Applicants may not receive college credit for their internship.
• Intern a minimum of 20 hours a week over 8 weeks during the summer (May 17^th – Aug 31^st)

The Wasserman Center’s Funded Internship Award is not affiliated with Federal Work Study or financial aid. It is a one-time stipend awarded directly to selected applicants. Applications can be submitted through NYU CareerNet, Job ID#853509.

Instructions are available at http://www.nyu.edu/careerdevelopment/funded_internship.php. If you have any questions regarding the Funded Internship Award, please feel free to email fundedinternshipaward@nyu.edu or contact Tara Schwartz (tara.schwartz@nyu.edu).
