Dear History Students, Please see the below and attached opportunity with the Andrew Goodman Foundation. Best, Prof. Celello Dear Students, With the start of a new semester, the Queens College chapter of the Andrew Goodman Foundation Vote Everywhere program is looking to recruit new members and volunteers. For those that do not know, Andrew Goodman was a Queens College student and civil rights activists during the Civil Rights Movement. Andrew joined Freedom Summer, a voter registration project aimed at registering African-Americans to vote in Mississippi. On Andy's first day, he and two other civil rights workers, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner, were murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. https://andrewgoodman.org/ To honor him, Queens College gave Andrew a degree posthumously and the clock tower of the Benjamin Rosenthal Library is named after him. Today, a chapter operates on campus and addresses voting rights legislation and social injustices. To join us in our efforts to increase voter accessibility and fight social injustices please join our email list is: https://goo.gl/forms/vk1eM8eo4mnVWxwh1 We can't wait to fight the good fight with you! -The Andrew Goodman Foundation Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[History undergraduates] Political/Marking College Student Intern Program at North Shore Strategies
by Kara M Schlichting 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

Dear History Majors- As Director of Internships for the History Department, I would like to draw your attention to another opportunity for internship experience. While more focused on politics and marketing than a typical history internship, it might be of interest to those of you who study political history. Best, Dr. Schlichting? Kara Murphy Schlichting, PhD Assistant Professor Queens College-CUNY, History Department ________________________________ From: Randall Franklin <randy(a)nsstrategy.com> Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2019 8:47 PM Subject: [EXTERNAL]College Student Intern Program Hello, My name is Randall Franklin and I serve as the chief of staff for North Shore Strategies. We are a political/marketing consulting firm in NYC looking for interns. If you could share this with your students at Queens, that would be great. The internship program prepares students to obtain leadership roles on future political campaigns Our 30+ day program is both intensive and comprehensive by assigning interns to essential roles within the senior staff of a campaign. Our program focuses on main competencies including direct voter contact, electoral/organizational systems training, campaign business/operations/finance training, and becoming a diverse field director. Many of our previous interns have graduated from our program and get promoted to a management role on a campaign generally during the become a manager for a campaign during an immediately following cycle. Direct Voter Contact: Once a campaign plan has been set into a strategic ground game plan, the main goal of the campaign (despite the differences amongst our clients/candidates) and their respective districts) is to target a specific audience of voters. By selecting a specific audience you continuously increase the effectiveness of your campaign by narrowing the amount of Voters we engage with while matching up the voter to our projected win number voters. Our grassroots approach to campaigns has multiple aspects to it including identifying voter support, increasing voter turnout, and conducting polls. Identifying voter support can take two main forms that are door to door canvassing and phone banking. We will train interns to maximize contact efforts through direct interaction and train them in a way to manipulate a conversation to lead up to a "hard ask," which is a very direct and clear question addressed to voters. This information allows a campaign to target specific voters and communities to increase support for a candidate and boost turnout. Systems Training: All political campaigns have various systems of data management and use different systems to control and analyze data. Interns will be trained to manage data including information obtained through direct voter contact and will learn how to critically analyze this data as to formulate campaign strategy. Managing and analyzing this data will entail use of various software including excel and VAN. Leadership: One of the most important competencies to run an effective campaign. Our internship program offers a unique opportunity for interns to try out various methods to improve a campaign's efficiency at persuading voters to support a candidate. By learning how to formulate effective persuasive conversations, interns will be prepared to be leaders and take initiatives themselves. Contact: Our main office is located at 3537 36th street, Astoria NY. Send your resume and contact information to Randy(a)nsstrategy.com<mailto:Randy@nsstrategy.com>. For any immediate questions, please don't hesitate to text me at 631. 680. 2941 Best, Randy -- Randall Franklin North Shore Strategies Director of Operations 631.680.2941 randy(a)nsstrategy.com<mailto:northshorestrategies@gmail.com>
