More about the internship:
The five members of the United States House of Representatives and the two senators from Connecticut, in partnership with the Honors Program and Department of Political Science, are offering students interested in the workings of the US government the chance to spend the entire spring semester working in one of their offices in Washington. Interns participate in staff meetings, attend committee meetings, research and write reports, and visit other offices on Capitol Hill. Interns also assist with constituent services including helping manage telephone and mail correspondence between the congressperson and his/her constituents, as well as leading constituent tours of the U.S. Capitol Building. Interns work full-time and as such, are fully integrated into the operations of the office. This exciting hands-on, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, is available to all UConn students (including Honors and comes with Honors course credits) with a 3.0 GPA or above. This opportunity provides not only first-hand knowledge about our federal government, but also a distinctive professional experience. Governmental internships can be practical experience for students of all majors and especially for those interested in political science, history, and law.
