Legislative/Government Affairs Internship

In collaboration with the Grindle Honors Institute, the Office of Legal and Government Affairs hosts a legislative / government affairs intern.  The internship gives students an opportunity to study and observe local and state governance and engage in the legislative process.  This program is designed to maximize a student’s exposure to the various components of government and its functions and processes which impact them and the college.  In conjunction with the internship, students also enroll in the honor internship course.
