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."

Roshni 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.”

Margaux Gillespie
Conference & Lobby Day Intern, Spring 2004
George Washington University - Washington, D.C.

"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..."
