Senator Murkowski welcomes the first of two groups of her summer interns, taking their questions on a wide range of issues.
Senator Murkowski offers opportunities in her Washington D.C. office for both recently graduated high school students and college students.
Interns will assist Senator Murkowski's staff in legislative and constituent duties. Individuals must be able writers and possess excellent communications skills. Interns will assist in the day-to-day clerical and administrative tasks within the office such as directing mail, speaking with constituents, running errands, and assisting staff with research projects. Interns will gain insight into the workings of a Senate office and how the legislative process works. They will also have the opportunity enjoy the many educational and cultural activities that are available in the Washington D.C. area.

The Senator will select a total of twenty students from all areas of Alaska to participate in two, month-long sessions.
