On Friday, interns affiliated with the West Virginia Legislature’s Internship Program were at the Capitol for an orienatation program. The interns represented the new class of legislative interns who serve for the session in various offices, committees and bodies to assist lawmakers in their public service. Each year students from any West Virginia college or university can apply to one of several programs offered through this educational and one of a kind opportunity.
Interns work with lawmakers and staff throughout the session to help draft, research and present legislation, cover the legislature and help with constituent request and correspondences.
Interns heard from staff and program directors about what to expect during the session and heard from Delegate Armstead who spoke to them about a variety of topics and his own experience as a Hernon Intern.
