How Does Your Internship Relate To Your Major?
By Ashli Tagoai
Fall 2014
I have spent my semester interning at the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF); a Congressionally appointed, nonpartisan, government agency committed to monitoring religious violence across the world. As an International Relations major, it has been a great experience to see how a U.S. government agency works with international religious leaders, prime ministers, and ambassadors to make sure that basic human rights and religious freedom are a reality for all people. Countless hours of research go into the Commission’s annual report, and I’m very lucky to be a part of the work that the staff and Commissioners do to make religious freedom a priority in America. After all, the global effort to uphold human rights is one of the reasons why I love being an International Relations major.
