[Sean Whalen]

Good morning,

While I am sure that many of you are aware of the AAPD DC internship
program, I am pasting information on the program below. The deadline for
applications is this Friday. There are internships available in
policy/politics/law and in IT. I know a few people who have participated in
this program and they had positive experiences.
