Each intern serves two State Senators as their first-line staff. Each year the Wabash political science department receives announcements concerning internships sponsored by the Republican House and the Democratic House and Senate in addition to the internships outlined above. Although Wabash does not grant direct academic credit for these internships, it is possible to arrange for an independent study in state and local government that would build on the internship experience. This year these internships conclude at the end of spring break, so very well organized and motivated students might be able to combine a state internship with a judicious combination of independent study and half-credit courses. See Professor Melissa Butler for help with this.
Stipends are available through special arrangement.
