Federal Event: Congressional Internships Roundtable, 10/12

Congressional Internships Roundtable featuring Mr. Scott Baker and Federal Semester Alumns who interned in congressional offices

Many of you have been to the Hill. This may be your opportunity to work there.

On Monday, October 12th at 4 p.m. in 3103 Susquehanna Hall, Mr. Scott Baker--Director of Constituent Services for U.S. Congressman Chet Edwards TX17--will lead a roundtable discussion on applying for internships and working on the Hill.

Mr. Baker is a Maryland Alum who has worked with Federal Semester in the past to link students to internship opportunities in congressional offices. This is an opportunity for students to learn about congressional opportunities and possibilities of working for representatives who serve on specific committees, like the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.


So, clear your schedule for the 12th and plan to take advantage of this exciting opportunity. As an added bonus, Federal Semester will be serving cookies!

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the second largest Institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is seeking applicants for its Intramural NIAID Research Opportunities (INRO) program, which provides an invaluable opportunity for students with strong academic standing who are from populations underrepresented in biomedical research.

The program takes place in Bethesda, MD, on the NIH campus, February 1-4, 2010. Students' expenses for travel, hotel accommodations, and meals will be paid.
