For the first time, members of the NAHJ Washington, D.C. Chapter will help three summer interns with transportation expenses. Two students will receive the Charlie Ericksen Internship Supplement worth $200 on a metro card and $45 for NAHJ Student Membership. The Chapter Board voted to help a third student with $150 for a Metro Card. Since, no student applied for convention assistance, the Chapter Board decided to award that money to a student who applied for the Charlie Ericksen Internship Supplement.

Meet the Students:
Juan David Romero
University of Central Florida
Juan will intern at Hispanic Link

Bianca Ordoñez
Florida International University
Bianca will intern at the Washington Center.

Jessica Barreto
University of Florida
Jessica will intern at NBC’s Meet the Press

Our Chapter raised the money during our past Noche de Periodistas fundraiser at Ray Suarez’s house. Please help us help student journalists while interning in the nation’s capital by attending this year’s fundraiser on Saturday, June 21 from 4:00 to 7:00 PM. You can buy your tickets online here. General Price $50. $25, if you bring a side dish.

Sincerely,
NAHJ Washington, D.C. Chapter Board
