LSJ Communiqué: MAIP Applications DUE Oct. 15, 2014

Calling All MCA Ad/PR Majors:

Students are encouraged to 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).

The 4A's 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 jumpstart 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. Students are encouraged to seek advice / mentoring from professors, who are here to help. Info is below; best of luck with your entry!

Best,

Prof. Appelbaum

Dear Education Leaders,

Celebrating its 41st anniversary, the 4A’s Multicultural Advertising Intern Program (MAIP) connects aspiring diverse entry‐level advertising professionals with prestigious advertising agencies nationwide. MAIP offers multicultural students a unique paid, full‐time summer internship at 4A’s participating agencies nationwide combining real‐world work experience, networking opportunities within the industry, and a valuable professional credential to better position themselves in the marketplace. Click here to hear from our industry supporters.

In addition to their internship, MAIP interns participate in a series of industry-sponsored workshops and seminars, which provide a deep dive into emerging advertising and media disciplines. The workshops also grant interns the opportunity to learn more about agency culture by networking with agency professionals post‐workshop and agency tours.

Selected students will have the opportunity to participate in The Face of Talent at the end of the summer and enter the MAIP Alumni Association, comprised of over 2,600 alumni connecting alumni nationwide dedicated to empowering multicultural advertising professionals with opportunities to achieve success throughout their careers.

If you would like to learn more about MAIP or disseminate the information to aspiring advertising professionals, please visit the 4A's website. The 2015 MAIP Application is available here and the deadline to apply is October 15, 2014.

If you have any questions and/or concerns about the program or would like to discuss about ways your educational institution could partner with MAIP and the 4A's in the future, please reach out to the MAIP team at maip@aaaa.org.

All the best,

The MAIP Team
