INTERNSHIPS
Internships are an excellent opportunity for students interested in pursuing
a career in politics or government. Our interns help staff with a variety
of duties. Their primary role is to handle mail and assist with phones.
They also help compile research, write legislative correspondence, attend
committee hearings, gather news clippings, assist with management of the
constituent database, and assist with scheduling requests.
Besides the above listed office duties, my staff works with interns to
involve them in the educational opportunities available in Congress and
Washington, D.C. For instance, the intern coordinator will keep interns
aware of lectures and seminars taking place in and around the Capitol.
We also coordinate tour activities for interns while they are in Washington.
I offer internships from September through December, January through
May, and then through the summer. In the summer my office will typically
offer three, four-week sessions, one starting the middle of May and lasting
through the middle of June, one from mid-June to mid-July, and the third
from mid-July to mid-August. The deadlines for submitting applications
are:
- Summer Sessions- March 15th
- Fall Semester- July 15th
- Spring Semester- November 1st
These are unpaid internships and interns are responsible for their own
housing. My staff will be happy to make housing suggestions. Additionally,
my intern coordinator is very willing to work with college professors
and interested students to design a specific internship that will fit
both the office’s needs and the student’s needs.
Thank you again for your interest. For those interested, please fill
out an application, attach a résumé and
let me know the session for which you are applying. You should send this
information to:
Senator Lindsey Graham
290 Russell Senate Office Building
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
If you have any additional questions, you may call or e-mail Wes
Hickman in my Washington office at (202) 224-5972.

To receive a presidential greeting, you must meet the following criteria:

honor every request, but we cannot guarantee a greeting if this guideline
is not met. (Greetings are generally not sent after the event date,
except for wedding congratulations and newborn acknowledgments.)
- Anniversary Greetings. Anniversary greetings are
extended only to those couples who are celebrating their 50th (and subsequent)
wedding anniversary.

only to individuals 80 years of age and above.
