PRINCETON, N.J., June 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Institute for Trade, Standards and Sustainable Development (ITSSD) is proud to announce the commencement this summer of a student internship program with Seton Hall University's John C. Whitehead School of Diplomacy and International Relations. The ITSSD is a non-partisan, non-profit legal research and educational organization that examines international laws and policies relating to trade, industry and positive sustainable development around the world. The Whitehead School, located in South Orange, N.J., offers graduate and undergraduate students a world-class education in international affairs "We were thrilled when the Whitehead School asked us to develop and internship program that would facilitate the sharing of our real world knowledge and experience with their students", says ITSSD President and CEO, Lawrence Kogan. Kogan noted how the ITSSD and its Advisory Board have been working diligently during the past few years to establish the organization as an international resource on trade, science and technology-related regulatory issues. "Earlier this year, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific referenced our organization as an 'information source on trade and [the] environment' and designated the ITSSD website as a 'selected worldwide website' ... Now, a well-respected university's international relations program with close ties to the United Nations has recognized our efforts and wishes to collaborate According to Elisa Varon, Director for Internships and Career Development at the Whitehead School, "It made perfect sense for us to reach out to an NGO that is serving the global community by helping to educate policymakers and the public about important evolving issues in international affairs. This collaboration is especially meaningful to us since several ITSSD personnel and Advisory Board members have either taught or taken classes at the Whitehead School. We therefore look forward to a rewarding and productive relationship with them." Information about ITSSD studies and programs is accessible online at: http://www.itssd.org. | |
