Additional Internship Opportunities

This WV legislative internship enables a student to work directly with a legislator in either the Senate or the House of Delegates. Beginning in January, the intern works the 60-day session with the assigned legislator. In addition to the experience acquired through the program, the student earns 12 semester credit hours. The deadline for the application is mid-October and requirements include completion of 60 undergraduate hours, submission of three letters of recommendation, a transcript and a written essay on a specified topic. Herndon Legislative interns perform research and are responsible for various staff functions. In addition to job-related responsibilities, participants develop an understanding of the politics of legislation, legislative research, bill drafting, the role and function of committees and the executive-legislative liaison. Contact Dr. Rob Rupp, Department Chair of History/Political Science for more information.
