The Legislative Internship program started this week with interns representing a variety of state universities and colleges taking part in orientation and learning what committees or lawmakers they would be working with throughout the session.
The West Virginia Legislature each year offers a number of internship opportunities for college students from in-state institutions wishing to further their knowledge and understanding of the political process on a state level.
The McManus Fellowship, Rollins-Burk Interns, Herndon Fellowship, Fraisure-Singleton Internship and the Legislative Information Journalism Internship offer varying degrees of involvement and students wishing to apply must meet requirements specific to the program they wish to enter.
While positions are filled for the 2009 Legislative Session, interested students are urged to look over the information on the Legislative Internship webpage and consider applying in the future.
