Skills are the key to getting jobs and internships in any field.

Through the generosity of SU alums Sami ’04 and Justin Grefe ’05 and their establishment of the Justin and Samantha Grefé Energy Policy Internship Support Fund, Maxwell is
able to provide several Grefé Fellowships to support students working at summer internships related to energy policy. The fellowships can be used to help cover
travel and living expenses and are intended to make it easier for students to take energy-related internships away from home.
Be an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant
Students who take PST 101 one semester can become an Undergraduate Teaching Course Assistant (UTAUCA) the next semester. Roughly 60% of policy studies majors become UTAsUCAs. To become a UTAUCA, you need to receive at least an A- in PST 101, have above a 3.0 GPA, get the support of your current UTA UCA when taking the course, and have a group interview with all the UTAs. Non-majors can also be PST 101 UTAs. Up to 20 UTAs are selected each semester.
UTAs UCAs benefit in a variety of ways:
- You earn three credits through PST 409.
- You work with Professor Coplin Barton and students who were in your PST 101 class.
- You practice the concepts you learned to apply in PST 101.
- Professor Coplin Barton gets to see your strengths and weakness so he can serve as a skills coach and learn more about your goals.
- You add an impressive leadership position to your resume.
