Student Programming Intern (Center for Women's and Gender Studies)
The Division of Student Affairs Internship Program
The Division of Student Affairs Internship Program empowers students to spend a summer handling a special project for the university designed to prepare them for life after graduation. Interns will work 19 hours per week for 10-weeks. These part-time internship positions offer a competitive compensation package that includes an hourly wage and housing assistance. Undergraduate students only are eligible to apply. The internship runs from May 30, 2023 to August 4, 2023. The application is due by February 12, 2023 at 11:59pm.
Although internships range in subject matter and skill set, each position is designed to prepare all students for life after graduation. An additional component to the internship experience will be a ten-week workshop series to develop students’ career readiness. The weekly workshop will require in-person attendance on campus.

The Office
The mission of the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) at The University of Texas at Austin is to promote research, teaching and learning that centers the categories of gender and sexuality, recognizing that experiences of gender and sexuality are also inextricable from race, nationality, caste, disability and socio-economic class. Through rigorous intersectional and feminist scholarship, decolonial and feminist teaching, and creative and public-facing programming, we articulate, analyze, and critique relationships among gender, sexuality, power, knowledge, oppression and liberation. As a department, we will remain an international resource for research, teaching and learning, cultivating intellectual spaces where students, faculty and community can produce and proliferate knowledge about gender and sexuality that will create a more equitable and just world.
