The Office of the Governor has a number of summer opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Thirty-five students will be selected to participate in the program. All internships are full time, and 12 weeks in length. Fulltime students who have completed at least one year of college are eligible to apply, and a personal interview is required as part of the application process.
Housing is the responsibility of the intern.
While the specific duties of interns are determined by the office directors, all internships have in common the expectation that interns will cover phones, do filing, mail processing, data entry, and routine office chores. Previous office experience is strongly preferred. We try to insure that each intern has an enjoyable summer, and a memorable learning experience. Towards that end, there is a regular speaker series, in which senior members of the Governor's staff and Cabinet meet weekly with the Governor's interns. Time permitting, they may also participate in a speaker series sponsored by the Legislature.
