Patrick Sinner - 2010 InternI had a wonderful time during my internship in Washington D.C. It was a great way to observe the nation's government in action, and be part of the political process. I learned a tremendous amount about the United States Congress and the legislative process. The people that I met, and the educational opportunities that I had during my time in Senator Conrad's office made this an experience that I will never forget. I would recommend this internship to any North Dakotan interested in government and the political process. It was truly a privilege to intern for Senator Conrad.
