On The Floor: CASNR Congressional Spring Interns Bound for Capitals
Five students from Texas Tech's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources will be spending their spring semester working as interns in either the state or national capital. Running from January through May, the college's congressionalspring intern program affords selected students an opportunity to experience first-hand the government's day-to-day operations.
"Intern selections are always an exciting and difficult process," said Lori Dudley, the coordinator of student development in the college's Dr. Bill Bennett Student Success Center. "The program is one of the most unique student programs that the college has for CASNR students."
