Debora
Rogo
Communications & Administrative Intern, Fall 2005 - Spring 2006
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"After finishing my
undergraduate studies at UNC – Chapel Hill, I took a year off and
was accepted as an intern at GenderPAC. I am currently in my first
year at law school at Washington University – Saint Louis and plan
to pursue a career in human rights law. The knowledge that I gained
from hours spent researching for different campaigns and
publications for GPAC are proving to be quite valuable. If there is
one thing I am glad I worked on, it's research! Aside from that, my
best experience was working with everyone at GPAC. A movement is
always defined by the people involved and I am honored to have
worked with the great staff at GPAC."

Abedin
Workplace & Public Policy Intern, Summer 2005
McGill University - Montreal, Quebec.
“My first weeks of the internship were right before and during
NCG 2005. I found this to be a wonderful way to begin my internship
at GPAC since I got to learn a lot about the organization and what
it does, plus I got to meet a lot of amazing GPAC members as well as
NCG presenters and speakers... My GenderPAC internship allowed
me to work on a number of different types of tasks, from research
and administrative work to bringing people to see their political
representatives at lobby day, thus teaching me a lot about how a
non-profit works behind the scenes.”

"Through my experience as the Conference and
Lobby Day intern for GenderPAC, I gained the skills and necessary
drive to combat opposition and evoke change. After graduating from
George Washington University with a degree in Women’s Studies, I
moved to Seattle to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector..."
