2024 WHIAANHPI Internship Webinar Today! |
|
 |
The White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI) is now accepting internship applications for the upcoming 2024 summer and fall cycles. We invite you to join us for a live webinar on Wednesday, November 8 to learn about the application process — and gain insights, tips, and advice directly from current interns and program alumni. We'd deeply appreciate your help in sharing this event with your student community. Through Executive Order 14031, WHIAANHPI drives the Biden-Harris Administration’s national strategy to advance equity, justice, and opportunity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) communities. Our internship program offers unique, rewarding experiences for undergraduate and graduate students who are passionate about public service, with opportunities to support a broad range of workstreams – including communications, event production, community engagement, and federal policy. WHIAANHPI offers internship opportunities year-round and prioritizes full-time, in-person applicants (32-40 hours a week), though virtual and part-time applicants who can commit to at least 25 hours a week will also be considered. Internships are based in Washington, DC, with the option to work hybrid or remotely. Learn more: https://www.hhs.gov/about/whiaanhpi/careers-internships/index.html |

Watch the Premiere of the New Short Film Baseball Behind Barbed Wire |
|
 |
From the team at Diamond Diplomacy and Baseball Behind Barbed Wire - Baseball Behind Barbed Wire tells the story of the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans, through the uncommon yet popular lens of baseball, America’s national pastime. The All-American pastime became a favorite for many incarcerees at all ten camps stretching from California to Wyoming to Arkansas – where we're having the film's WORLD PREMIERE.
Some of the camps had two or three fields and some had as many as thirty teams! If there was one thread that ran through this unforgiving history, it was baseball, still popular and still shared by the U.S. and Japan.
Next month, we're going to five major film festivals — Hot Springs, AR; Honolulu, HI; Newport Beach, CA; Washington, DC; and Palo Alto, CA.
And that's just October! So make sure to check out our upcoming screenings page for more schedules, tickets, and updates! |
