The Office of Career Planning subscribes to the Government Honors & Internship Handbook, a nearly-comprehensive clearinghouse of hiring information for federal government student and new graduate hiring. Following is a summary of upcoming program deadlines. Access the Handbook in the CareerConnect Resource Library (search for “honors” or filter resource type for “Government”).

Rolling Deadlines:  At the top of each 1L; 2L; 3L; and LLM, Recent Grad and JLC  “Applications by Deadline” Table is a list of hiring programs that hire on a “Rolling Basis.” This means the employer accepts and reviews applications as received, and may make hiring decisions on this timeframe. If you have an interest in such a program (and would seriously consider an offer, if extended), review the “Rolling Deadlines” list on a regular basis. We’ll remind you in each of these reminder emails.
