For-Credit and Paid Internships

The application cycle for the Fall 2025 internships has not begun. You may check this page sporadically to discover when we will be accepting applications. To receive an immediate update, join our Archway Group.

Every semester, the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies awards internships to two Ramapo students. Interns hired in the fall semester will have the option to continue on in the spring (with a different set of responsibilities), pending their performance and at the discretion of the CHGS director. Interns will receive the prevailing wage for student employment (of a similar type).

See the two internship descriptions below. Questions & more info: Dr. Jacob Ari Labendz (jlabendz@ramapo.edu).
