IMI Conference on Intercultural Relations (Washington, DC)

“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.”

– John F. Kennedy, Commencement Address at the American University June 10, 1963
 
For more than 50 years, the Intercultural Management Institute (IMI)–formerly the Business Council for International Understanding Institute (BCIU) –has worked toward promoting cultural understanding through innovative and dynamic intercultural communication training. Never before have the effects of international communication been so far-reaching and immediate. The lesson is clear: in our global community, we tend to ignore the importance of intercultural relations at our own peril. Reciprocally, collectively we have made tremendous strides in the field of intercultural relations, and it is those successes and best practices that we continue to share at our annual conference. Join us for the IMI 16th Annual Conference on Intercultural Relations: A Forum for Business, Education and Training Professionals, March 12-13, 2015, in the School of International Service building at American University in Washington, D.C.Located in the nation’s capital, the Annual IMI Conference on Intercultural Relations is an accessible, affordable, professional development opportunity for those in the field of intercultural relations, cross-cultural & diversity training and education.Since the Annual Conference launch in 2000, IMI has worked to bring together a niche audience of intercultural relations professionals from various sectors to share their knowledge and best practices with colleagues and like-minded individuals in the field.

“The School of Communication at American University has entered a new and exclusive partnership with the The Washington Post for a named Fellowship.  This unique opportunity offers the Fellow full tuition, plus a $30,000 yearly stipend and the chance to work side-by-side with top journalists at The Washington Post, one of the world’s leading news organizations.  This is the only such fellowship with The Washington Post in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Applications will be considered through May 30, 2011, or until the best candidate is selected. Coursework begins August 1, 2011.

This opportunity is only available to those with several years of professional experience and who become enrolled in the SOC weekday graduate journalism program. During the academic year, Washington Post/SOC Fellows will work 15-20 hours a week at The Washington Post while pursuing an advanced degree in an 11-month program. Fellows work full time at the Post over the summer.  Fellows can also take advantage of SOC’s innovative centers for new forms of journalism such as, J-Lab, the Investigative Reporting Workshop, and the Center for Social Media, as well as the university’s deep intellectual and educational resources.

Journalism Division Director Jill Olmsted predicts a highly competitive application process. “This is an outstanding opportunity for a journalist who has a few years of experience and has already shown talent and grit to work for one of the world’s premier news organizations,” said Olmsted. “It would be perfect for someone in an early-career building stage who also wants to earn an advanced degree, perhaps in a specialized area.”

Experience and interest in topic areas such as religion, transportation, education, law enforcement or government is a plus. The Fellow will be a part of the Post‘s local staff of 60 reporters, the region’s dominant news-gathering organization, in print and online.

The Fellowship is limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents with a minimum of two-to-five years full-time professional journalism experience who hold an undergraduate degree. Applicants may include general assignment reporters, editors, Web producers, and full-time freelancers. It is aimed at outstanding journalists committed to a career in professional journalism.  Applicants must submit an application form, cover letter, resume, references, three work samples and a completed application packet to SOC’s full-time MA program in Journalism and Public Affairs.
