CIA Student Opportunities

Published June 11, 2012 by Eric Pamintuan

Summer is an exciting, though busy, time for us. Students have begun arriving for their summer internships—some for the first time and some for a return tour. After focusing on identifying and on boarding the best and brightest students over the last year, the fruit of our collective labor is visible throughout the Agency. Now our focus shifts to ensuring that our students have meaningful work experiences, to attending to their quality of life activities, and to identifying students for next summer. By the way, 70 to 80% of our students convert to full-time staff when they graduate. So, in addition to gaining some very valuable work experience, a student opportunity at CIA may very well lead to a career.

That being said, NOW is the time for your students to apply for scholarships and summer 2013 internships. Students who wish to work for a time period other than summer should apply at least 12 months before their desired start date. This allows ample time for selected applicants to complete our rigorous application process (medical testing, security processing, and background investigation).

LEGACY OF THE AWIS SAN DIEGO SCHOLARS

Published May 4, 2012 by Eric Pamintuan

The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) is a national organization dedicated to achieving equity and full participation of women in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. Since 2003, six remarkable young women from the San Diego City College Math, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) Program have received a $1,000 scholarship from AWIS San Diego. Overcoming life challenges – first in their family to attend college, low income, single mom or military veteran, this is their inspiring story of transfer, achievement and success! Most recently in 2012, MESA Creator Hue Simone, a mathematics major, was awarded the AWIS Scholarship and former MESA student (now at UCSD), Ashley Pourazary.

The previous five MESA Creators who received the AWIS scholarship have earned Bachelor of Science Degrees in Math, Engineering and Science areas, and they have all gone on to graduate study, including 1 Masters program and 4 Ph.D. programs at Harvard University, University of North Florida, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and Rice University!
