(Washington, D.C.) Fourth District Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR) today recognized
the first session of summer interns in his Washington, D.C. office.
Rebecca Burns of Magnolia, Lauren Guthrie of Prescott, and Derrick Ross
of Hope are assisting constituents and staff members on various projects,
as well as attending committee hearings and legislative briefings.
The internship program consists of two five-week sessions that provide
the young leaders the opportunity to serve the community by assisting in
Congressman Ross’s Washington, D.C. office. The session includes
three interns from across the Fourth Congressional District.
“I am very proud of this group of interns, who have already immersed
themselves into hard work in the nation’s capital,” said Ross. “The
internship program is designed to familiarize students with the inner-workings
of a congressional office, while also teaching them the importance of public
service. Congressional internships provide a unique opportunity for
students to learn first hand knowledge of our federal government and the
legislative process. I am confident their internship experience will
be very rewarding, and the students will be successful in all their future
endeavors.”
