Alumni Testimonial: Nicholas Barranca
“The Senate Internship Program is ideal for individuals intent on pursuing a career in politics or public service. As a Session Assistant, you are privy to the inner workings of state government and have the opportunity to gain an invaluable, comprehensive understanding of politics that cannot be obtained in the classroom. Aside from equipping students with knowledge that is undeniably crucial to a future career in government, the internship also provides a host of networking opportunities and once in a lifetime experiences. While the program can certainly be demanding, the rewards of hard work and dedication are both numerous and enduring.”
