Washington Program, Hi, I’m Whitney Neumann! Whitney is a Political Science-Public Service and Communications double major who interned in Washington DC! Swipe to read her story! Majors: Political Science - Public Service and Communications
Internship: U.S. Department of Education, Office of Legislation and Congressional Affairs My role: During my internship at the Department I had the opportunity to attend congressional hearings and negotiated rule makings along with staff meetings. I briefed the office daily on breaking education news and congressional updates from legislators on education related committees.
Advice: Your time in DC will fly by. Take advantage of the connections you will make in your class and in the office! You never know who will turn into a mentor or a friend.

My Experience
“I performed a variety of tasks during my time on Capitol Hill, and my work was mainly divided between a number of main areas including legislation and policy, press and communications, and scheduling.
I worked exclusively with the Senator's health legislation portfolio and helped her health staffers by conducting research, preparing reports, and attending committee hearings and briefings throughout the Capitol. I also aided the Senator's press team by preparing daily news packets for the Senator and her senior staff.
My Advice
I would tell anyone in the UCDC program to do their research before they get to the city and set out to make the most of your limited time there by doing the things that make you most happy — and that may very well mean trying new things. It's all up to you!
