Brenden Wirth, senior in political science, said his internship with the Kansas Legislature provided him with experience and contacts with Kansas politicians and business people. Wirth said he attended committee hearings, wrote press releases and helped with research. Potter said Kansas has one of the best internship programs in the country. He said interns can make political decisions before an item is discussed in the newspaper or on television. I hope they see what it's really like and what legislators endure everyday.
Public service is a sacrifice on time, but it's a beautiful reward.
