INTERNING WITH ITHACA COLLEGE - LONDON
Ithaca College has been placing US internship students in London work placements for over twenty years. Our experienced
internship coordinators find placements in all academic areas, but we are particularly strong in the fields of politics,
the social services, theatre and communications. All internships have strong cultural and professional components, and
they are all academic courses. In the autumn and spring terms students choose either a two-day-a-week model (3 credit
hours) or a three-day-a-week model (6 credit hours). To comply fully with British immigration and employment law, fall
and spring interns must also enrol in two or three academic courses at our London Center. The Ithaca College London
Center also offers a five-week summer internship programme [late May until the end of June]. Summer placements are
generally 4 or 5 days a week with a mandatory "internship seminar" one evening a week. To comply with British law,
all summer interns must enter the UK with a BUNAC work visa. The visa entitles the student to work full-time in a
British host organisation and also to prolong the work placement after the end of the term should it be mutually
convenient. For more information contact:
rcullenen@ithaca.edu

Silver Linings: Travels Around Northern Ireland by Martin Fletcher
For three decades, Northern Ireland has made international headlines. The province has become synonymous with conflict,
terrorism, and tortuous efforts to forge peace. But what is life there really like? In this enchantingly original book,
Martin Fletcher presents a portrait of Northern Ireland that is utterly at odds with its dire image. He paints a
compelling picture of a place caught in a time warp since the 1960s; a land of mountains, lakes and rivers where customs,
traditions and old-world charm survive; a place that has given the world not just bombs and bullets but the Titanic, the
tire, and the tractor, a dozen American presidents, two prime ministers of New Zealand, and a Hindu god. He gives us an
intelligent, fun-loving, God-fearing people who may do terrible things to each other but who could not be more welcoming
to outsiders. He describes a land of awful beauty, a battleground of good and evil, a province populated by saints and
sinners that has yet to be rendered bland by the forces of modernity. A witty, warm, and revealing travel book.
