INTERNSHIP Interns carry a variety of responsibilities, including
researching, writing, and attending and reporting congressional
hearings. In addition, students may be responsible for general
office organization and upkeep. The most successful interns are
competent at working individually or in group settings, and are
committed to learning as much as possible from the experience.
Students working for academic credit work three to four days per
week (24-32 hours) to allow time for academic and research
obligations. Internships with Early Deadlines Because of the need
to satisfy a security clearance, some internship deadlines occur
before Washington Program deadlines. These organizations include
the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the White
House. Once a student has officially committed to an internship
organization, he or she is not permitted to rescind his or her
commitment. Slide 17 Slide 18 Program Planning Meeting Submit
