WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) recently bid farewell to summer intern D.H. Dilbeck. Dilbeck was chosen to participate in the summer internship program in Cole's Washington, DC office.
"Our summer internship program provides a great opportunity for students like D.H. to experience Washington, DC and see the inner-workings of our government firsthand," Congressman Cole said. "The job of an intern isn't always glamorous, but D.H. met every objective he was assigned. I appreciate his hard work and positive attitude. He was an asset to our office and will certainly be missed."
Cole's summer internship program accepts applications from students interested in working in a Congressional office. While in Washington interns attend congressional hearings, give Capitol tours to constituents and aid legislative staff with projects.
"My time on Capitol Hill was very informative," Dilbeck said. "Interning for Congressman Cole gave me a great deal of insight into the day-to-day operations of Congress. I'm returning to Oklahoma with a deeper understanding of the complex problems facing our nation and a new appreciation for those dedicated leaders who are willing to tackle our problems."
Dilbeck is the son of Hance and Julie Dilbeck of Edmond, Oklahoma. He is a junior at Oklahoma Baptist University studying history and economics. Upon graduation, he intends to pursue a graduate degree in history.
