Lizzie just got a call from Erin who offered her a Race Policy/ Progress 2050 internship for this summer. She is absolutely thrilled to be working at CAP and helping with its agenda.  She and I are very  grateful to you for your help. Many thanks. Have a great weekend.

Subject: Elizabeth Connolly application for a CAP internship for Summer 2014

Hi John, hope all is well.
Following up on my conversation with Eryn last Thursday, I wanted to flag that my daughter Elizabeth (Lizzie) has applied to Erin Green at CAP for a Summer 2014 internship (either the Race Policy/ Progress 2050 internship, the Immigration Policy internship or the Half in Ten Anti- Poverty Campaign Internship). I would greatly appreciate it if you could put a good word in for Lizzie. Attached are her cover letter, resume, and writing sample. She is a sociology major at Connecticut College in New London (my hometown) with a 3.08 average and strong writing skills.  As part of her Sociology major she has taken several courses on race relations, which is a special interest of hers as an Asian American adoptee from South Korea. In addition, she also studied immigration issues as part of her Danish Politics course during her semester abroad in Copenhagen.  She has also focused on global women's empowerment, child exploitation, education and special needs children issues  through internships with Child Plan, a global non-profit focused on young women and children, For Love of Children (FLOC) a DC based tutoring program and an Arlington County School Summer Life Skills Program for special needs children. Lizzie is very committed to making a contribution on important public policy issues like race relations, immigration, human trafficking and child exploitation. She is a hard worker, capable of juggling many tasks and would be honored to have the opportunity to work at CAP.
Thanks very much for any assistance you can provide, Claudia
