Every morning, the press intern will assist in sorting through local, state, and national newspapers for items important to the Senator and to Arkansas. In addition, the intern will archive past news clips, research topics for the weekly column, and assist the Communications staff with press conferences and other media events. Students with an education background in political science or journalism will be strongly considered . Interns interested in working directly with Arkansans who are experiencing problems with government agencies should apply for a casework internship. Each day, the casework intern will work with staff in trying to resolve the various difficulties at hand.
Caseworkers act as liaisons between constituents and government agencies.
Those students with the ability to communicate clearly, both verbally and in writing, in addition to possessing exemplary problem solving skills, should apply. Interns will help the legislative staff research legislative measures, and assess their potential effects on Arkansas and the nation. Students with strong writing skills and an interest in public policy are encouraged to apply. When e-mailing Senator Hutchinson, please include your name and mailing address if you want a response.
