Participants in the 2008 AGBU New York Summer Intern Program.
AGBU has begun accepting applications for the 2009 New York Summer Intern Program (NYSIP). Now entering its 22nd season, NYSIP continues to attract the best and brightest college students of Armenian descent for eight action-packed weeks in New York City.
The 38 participants of the 2008 New York Summer Intern Program hailed from Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, France, Lebanon and the United States. Students spent eight weeks together in the city that never sleeps, working full time at internships related to their fields of study, and participating in specially tailored professional networking and cultural events. United by their Armenian heritage, NYSIP interns shared an unforgettable summer in one of the most inspiring cities on earth.
"The most important thing I learned during my AGBU New York Summer Intern Program experience was that there is a whole world of opportunity out there for me, just as long as I go after it and achieve my goals," says 2008 alumna Ximena Kedikian of Buenos Aires, Argentina. "AGBU has given me wonderful opportunities to explore my horizons and connect with my culture."
"You come into the Program without a clue," says another NYSIP 2008 alumna, Ani Toumajan of Ann Arbor, Michigan. "And end up with knowledge, a family, and a support system you never realized you could ever have."
This year, NYSIP participants worked in a broad range of dynamic host institutions, including Deutsche Bank Securities, Merrill Lynch, Columbia University Medical Center, Entertainment Weekly, Isaac Mizrahi, the National Hockey League, the People's Choice Awards, the New York bureau of the Daily Telegraph newspaper, and scores of other prestigious firms.
During evenings and weekends, NYSIP students participate in cultural and professional events, from a private dinner with the Archbishop of the Diocese of the Armenian Church (Eastern) to lectures from industry leaders and Armenian cultural experts.
Currently, the AGBU NYSIP staff has begun accepting applications for the 2009 session. For more information and to download an application, please email nysip@agbu.org or visit www.agbu.org/nysip.
