It’s the end of the semester! Finals are pretty much completed, faculty have exams to grade, students have packing to do, and we all have Christmas break to look forward to. We hope you enjoyed out first semester of this blog. The following are the guest writers who wrote for the blog. . .

Alejandro Garcia Davalos is a junior. He will be returning to his home country, Bolivia, in January. He will return for the spring to take some more politics courses and participate in an internship. He co-wrote “An Inside Scoop” with Jean Cho.

Jean Cho,  a member of the Messiah swim team, will be finishing up the swimming season in the Spring and I will be continuing her internship as Representative Stephen Bloom’s Legislative intern.

Nicholas Kratz is a senior who contributed his op-ed on the Frances Fox Piven event in October. In the Spring, Nick will be a full-time intern with the House of Representatives in Harrisburg. He will be working as a staff member on a committee of the House drafting legislation.

Solveig Parsons wrote our Studying Abroad reflection and is in her third year of studying Politics and French at Messiah. She plans on returning to Strasbourg in the Spring to continue working on her French (and eating baguettes).

Ben Hemphill is a Sophomore Politics major, Secretary of the MC Republicans, and a member of Student Government Forum. He will be pursing an internship with the Republican Party of Pennsylvania in the Spring. He wrote the response to the debate between Jim Wallis and Arthur Brooks.

As one of the Department work study students, Havilah Mendez has overseen the blog this semester and written the following posts:  A Window into the Classroom Experience, Our Students on Internships & Studying Abroad, American Government, and “Where Do I Go From Here?” She will be studying at the American Studies Program in Washington D.C. in the Spring to finish up her junior year.

Dr. Robin Lauermann, is chair of the Department of Politics and Assistant Dean of General Education and Common Learning. She wrote the post “A Republic or a Democracy?”

We also want to thank Josephine Bellon, Joshua Beers for appearing in our Student Video. A special thanks to Film major, Matthew Elton for filming the video. Thanks to Professors Paul Rego and John Harles for their contributions to the core curriculum posts.

About Us, Fall 2011, Josephine Bellon, Joshua Beers, Juniors, Seniors, Study Abroad, Videos

Studying Abroad. The experience is different for everyone. Engaging one’s studies in a new environment brings lots of insights and challenges. Messiah College’s Nationally ranked Study Abroad program provides many opportunities for our students to explore areas of political studies that interest them. Whether through international programs like the one in China at Xiamen University or in state-side programs like the American Studies Program, students will find many classes for the politics major in areas of economic development, international affairs, or public policy.

Many of these semester-long programs offer the possibility of an internship. Students can take classes while interning in their host country, splitting their time between academics and its real-world application. Both studying and working abroad are growing experiences and what better way to learn more in this post than through our student perspectives video.

In a continuation of our “Get to Know Us” video series, here is the full length video of “Internships & Study Abroad.” Two politics students, senior Josephine Bellon and junior Joshua Beers, took a break from their work this October to tell us their stories of study abroad and internship work from the Spring semester. Hear them share about what they learned, how their politics classes have helped them, and what advice they give to other students considering studying abroad or applying for an internship.

Thank you Josephine and Josh!
