International Professional Service Semester
The International Professional Service Semester is an eight month program that complements professional service with a guided learning experience. My work-study was at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Representation in Romania. I worked with an organizational partner, the Refugee Women's Organization in Romania on project development, funding, and management training. In addition to a six month work experience with an international organization, there are three elements of the IPSS program.
The first is a three week skills training seminar that includes:
 |
Data analysis and SPSS software |
|
Data collection |
|
Program cycle management |
|
Log frame analysis |
|
Program Evaluation |
|

The second is an on-site research project.
The third is a three week organizational analysis seminar.
