Reminder :: MAIP Applications Due Oct. 15

Hello All:

Competitive multicultural students should apply for the 2015 MAIP Summer Fellows Program.  For the past two years, CCNY has had a great record of MAIP scholars: 10 in 2013 and 9 in 2014 (including two BIC students).

As you learned at the new student orientation, the 4A's (American Association of Advertising Agencies) Multi-Cultural Advertising Internship Program is a highly competitive 10-week summer internship program that selects from a talented pool of graduate and undergraduate applicants from across the country. More than 85% of finalists will be placed in major advertising agencies and become part of the MAIP alumni network which has helped jump start the careers of more than 2,400 aspiring advertising professionals since 1973. MAIP winners are announced in mid-March.

Once a student has been screened and accepted by the 4A's, semi-finalists are then interviewed by agency recruiters who then vote on finalists.  Let's keep the great CCNY record going!

DEADLINE:  OCT 15, 2014.  Scroll OLDER POSTS (this blog) or visit www.aaaa.org to learn more.

Regards,

Prof. Scott Jackson

Good Morning Professor Appelbaum,
 
I was recently contacted by Professor Rich of the Colin Powell School for help with promoting

the Semester In Washington Program. I was fortunate enough to be able to be selected among

the first group of students to participate in this program. 
 
If you wouldn't mind, could you promote this program within the department as there might 

be students such as myself that are interested in going a different route with their 

AD/PR degree.
 
If anyone has any questions about what the program was like and my experience they 

can contact me. If they would like more information on requirements, costs, etc please 

have them contact the program director indicated on the flyer or Professor Rich at

andrewowenrich@gmail.com.
 
Enjoy your semester,
Tonyé Fohsta-Lynch
