Successful Legislative Internship Program Continues Providing Students with Valuable Experience

July 2, 2014

The 2013-2014 Legislative Internship Programs, sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, assisted several qualified Georgia Southern University students with securing experiential learning through internships with Georgia representatives' congressional offices in Washington, D.C. and in state legislative offices in Atlanta. During the past academic year, 18 students participated in the Legislative Internship Program. Two of these students interned with the Georgia state legislation; the remaining were provided opportunities in Washington, D.C. This program continues to be popular with students and has led to full-time employment for many of its eligible participants. The University also receives high praise for the quality of student at Georgia Southern from the staff within the Legislative offices who work directly with the student interns.
