No events this week and just one internship:

The Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) was established in 
1999 to promote democratic debate on the most important economic and 
social issues that affect people's lives. It is an independent 
nonpartisan think tank based in Washington, DC. CEPR is committed to 
presenting issues in an accurate and understandable manner, so that the 
public is better prepared to choose among the various policy options. 
CEPR is an ideal place to learn about current economic and global 
justice issues in a friendly, relaxed and fun environment. Work 
schedules are flexible.
