华盛顿, PA(7月6日), 2020)—The COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges for many, 但华盛顿 & 澳门葡京博彩软件 students like Nickolas Bartel are finding creative solutions to continue thriving during this time.
Early in the spring semester, the sophomore political science, 环境研究, and Spanish triple major was looking for Internships opportunities just before the world went on lockdown to combat the rapid spread of coronavirus. 在W&J’s 职业服务 department, it didn’t take long for Nickolas to find the opportunity he was searching for.
“While I was looking for potential Internshipss, Jami Klingensmith reached out to me with this opportunity with a joint Internships between New York State Senator John Brooks and Democratic nominee Ann Brancato representing the ninth district in the New York Assembly,他说. “I decided to apply for this position as smaller campaigns typically allow their interns to take on larger assignments and responsibilities. As someone who wants to go into policy research, I wanted to take what I have learned and learn more on the campaign to help bring attention to issues that are important to me, like promoting equity in society.”
His time with the campaign has been fast-paced and a constant learning experience as Nickolas assists with writing, 修改, and publishing policy briefs. One of his biggest focuses has been around helping to create policy to decrease unemployment in the state of New York, and he’s written several briefs on fair work practices to reduce employee layoffs during economic downturns. Some of his writing has been incorporated in official campaign policy positions for the Brancato campaign.
Nickolas’s experiences at W&J have helped prepare him for his responsibilities in this Internships role.
“Last fall, I took public policy with Professor Risko. 在那堂课上, she focused heavily on showing us how to format and create concise and efficient policy briefs,他说. “Thanks to that class, I have been able to take on more opportunities within the campaign.”
This Internships is an early step for Nickolas on his intended career path, where he hopes to work in international policy formation in either the public or private sector.
