Internships

I want to thank you for your interest in pursuing an internship with my office.

While I am unable to offer paid internships, at the discretion of your academic advisor, you may be eligible to obtain college credit. Interning in my office can be a great learning experience and often proves to be quite helpful in future academic and career opportunities.

My internship program is flexible and, if selected, my staff and I will do our best to accomodate your schedule. Once I receive your application, detailed materials on the internship and expectations will be promptly sent to you. An interview will also be conducted.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me toll-free at 1-888-909-RYAN (7926). I appreciate your interest in learning more about the political process, and I look forward to receiving your application.

The deadlines for fall, spring, and summer internship applications are July 15th, December 1st, and March 15th, respectively.
