The Diversity Summer Internship Program at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has an opening for a fall internship (minimum of 10 hours/week) supporting the Day at the Market initiative based in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering and The Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research.
The Day at the Market is a multifaceted program of outreach and engagement sponsored by the Johns Hopkins East Baltimore campus. The program takes place at the Northeast Market the first Tuesday as well as every second and last Wednesday of every month. The Northeast Market is where Johns Hopkins meets the community and is an important venue where Johns Hopkins can bridge the disconnect regarding the lack of access to resources and information. Our Johns Hopkins faculty, staff, students and researchers participate in Market Day and use this program as a learning tool for being a better partner with the community, as a dissemination vehicle to return what they have learned to the community, and as a means to deepen interactions with community partners and members. The goals of the initiative include providing patrons with pertinent educational materials, answers to questions from experts, and services or resources that will help them make positive behavioral changes for health.
The internship includes opportunities for translating research, developing health promotion messages and products, while engaging with the local community.
DSIP is designed to assist students in preparing for graduate school and includes:
· Community or lab based research internship with a faculty mentor
· Completion of a formal research writing project (research paper, evaluation, proposal, etc)
· Public health and professional development
· An NIH funded stipend of $10/hour (August- January with flexible start and end dates)
· Flexible hours based on academic schedule
Requirements
· A genuine interest in public health and community engagement
· Strong communication skills
· Willingness to learn
· Able to work in a team and independently
· Availability for in-person participation on market days
· Students currently in their second year (or higher) from all majors are encouraged to apply including biology, chemistry, public health, environmental health science, health education/science, pre-med, and psychology.
Undergraduate students who are US citizens or permanent residents and who are currently enrolled in a degree-seeking program within a U.S. college or university are eligible to apply. Applicants should have completed two years of study prior to beginning the program. Students from underrepresented minority groups and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds who are interested in careers in public health, science, and medicine are encouraged to apply.

Name:Justine Cataneo
Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Inside Broadway
Position Title: Intern
Major(s)/Minor(s):BFA Acting
Work Term:Summer 2018
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
Every day I am involved in completing different tasks at my internship. I travel from Middletown, NJ to New York, NY on the train and go to 130 9th Avenue. When I come into the office, I am usually given a list of tasks. These tasks can include: delivering checks to actors and/or teaching artists, making Playbills for school programs, researching items for our silent/live auction. I also inventoried all of the items in our stockroom and created an Excel sheet of each individual item. This sheet was sent to every teaching artist so that when they need costumes, they can easily see what we have and what needs to be ordered. This saves Inside Broadway from having to continuously pay for items that they already have stocked.
One of the most exciting parts of my job are working at our Creating the Magic events. This summer, I was able to go to Chicago and Phantom of the Opera for these events. Each Creating the Magic involves busing students from each of the boroughs to Manhattan. The students see pieces of the show and learn about the backstage jobs involved in running a show. Usually, the stage manager, lighting operator, musicians, sound engineer come onstage and do a demonstration for the children that explains their job title. The actors perform 3-4 numbers from the show. Most of these students have never seen a Broadway show, been to a Broadway theatre or have even been to Manhattan!
My favorite part of these programs is seeing how excited all of the students get at each of the demonstrations. They sit on the edge of their seats and clap and cheer for the cast members. It is rewarding to see that all of the time, effort and money that goes into these programs makes thousands of children incredibly happy. I am usually lucky enough to receive a backstage tour of the theaters and meet the actors after their performance. I love being able to introduce myself to people in the industry and to start making making connections.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
When I was in high school, I interviewed for this position. One of the schools that my company works with is my father's school. My boss was speaking to my father about how they needed an intern and he recommended me. I submitted my resume and did a phone interview. This summer, I re-submitted my work and acting resumes. Since my boss had worked with me before and was pleased with my work, she hired me immediately for the summer.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
I have greatly enjoyed seeing children's reaction to theater and performance. When I go to schools and see elementary students singing and dancing for their community, it reminds me of the joy theatre brings to my life.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I am an organized and efficient worker. I think I relieved some stress off of my supervisors by always completing tasks in a sensible and timely matter. I was able to be given a list of tasks and each item would be crossed off and taken care of before I caught the train home.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
I would suggest making sure your internship is in your field of interest. Seek out companies who you would want to work for one day.
