PAID INTERSHIPS FOR MINORITIES

The Louis Carr Internship Foundation http://www.louiscarrfoundation.com is accepting applications for Summer 2005 paid internships in communications from minority students, who have completed their sophomore and/or junior year of college.

The Foundation will award ten (10) internships at top television, print media, advertising, marketing, information technology and other communications-related businesses in Chicago, New York, and Washington, DC. Interns, who are matched with mentors, will participate in an eight-to-ten week internship and obtain valuable hands-on experience plus insight into the challenges and rewards of careers in communications.

Please help the Foundation communicate our paid internship opportunities for minority students. The application form for Summer 2005 plus complete details about the internship are available on our website at http://www.louiscarrfoundation.com or http://www.louiscarrfoundation.org.

All applications must be post-marked by March 31, 2005. For additional information, please contact the Foundation at 1-800-LCIF-740 (1 800 524-3740).

The Foundation was created in 2003 by Louis Carr, President, Broadcast Media Sales at BET, to increase multiculturalism and to enhance diversity within the communications industry. After 20 years of hearing much talk in the industry about more diversity and the under-representation of minorities, but witnessing very little action, Carr made a commitment of $50,000 annually to fund summer internships. The Louis Carr Internship Foundation offers highly motivated and talented students of color, who cannot afford to work for free in the summer, paid internships and a opportunity to get a 'head start' on career development.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and for disseminating information on the Louis Carr Internship Foundation to your colleagues and students.
