I am pleased to offer internships to college students throughout the year in my Washington, DC office. Summer internships are full-time positions of six week's durations. Two six-week intern sessions are administered each summer. During the school year, internships are coordinated around students' academic schedules. Interns can expect to do a combination of clerical, administrative, legislative, and press work. I believe very strongly that internships should be a positive experience for both the office and the intern. Interns who work for academic credit can expect to work a minimum of 20 hours per week, while interns who are not working for credit may have more flexible schedules.

If you're interested in a Washington internship, the application for an internship position consists of a letter of interest, and a current resume. The deadlines for applications are: July 1 for fall semester internships, November 1 for spring semester internships, and March 1 for summer internships.

There are a great number of resources that can help students find housing while they intern in my Washington office -- click here to see a list of newspaper classifieds, university housing and rental services. Applications may be mailed to the address below:
