Apply Now! | Leadership-in-Arts Policy Internship Program

The Hart Leadership Program challenges students to practice the art of leadership in public life. Applications are now open for several experiential learning programs that aim to shape Duke undergraduates for reflective, ethical leadership. Our core programs involve training both inside and outside the classroom through experiential education, pedagogical preparation, reflective practice, a strong community of peers, and funding for summer internships or research projects.

The Leadership in Arts Policy Internship (LAPI) program is designed to fuel creativity in the practice of leadership while challenging students to connect their passion for the arts to their academic endeavors. LAPI Fellows complete a required spring gateway course (PUBPOL 213: Arts Policy, Leadership, and Engagement) and receive a $5000 stipend to support a summer internship at the intersection of leadership and the arts. LAPI is open to sophomores and juniors of any major.

Applications for the Leadership in Arts Policy Internship (LAPI) program are open now and close on September 30th at 11:59 PM. Open office hours are held every Tuesday from 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM in Sanford 115 for students to ask questions and learn more about these programs. Learn more about our programs by visiting our website or following us on Instagram.
