"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."

This year's CASNR fall interns include:

• Alexa Borowski, a senior agricultural communications major from Lincoln, NM; House Committee on Agriculture (majority office)
• Taylor Kirk, a junior animal science major from Idalou; Congressman Mike Conaway (R-TX 11)
• Stephany Wines, an agribusiness graduate student from Lubbock; Congressman Randy Neugebauer (R-TX19)

CASNR interns live in the "Tech House" during their stay in Washington D.C., which is located just over a block from the Capitol Building. Their living expenses are offset through scholarships from generous donors, including the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Texas Corn Producers Board, Plains Cotton Growers, Texas Corn Growers, Texas Peanut Producers, Dan Taylor, Texas Farm Bureau, and South Texas Cotton and Grain, as well as others.Written by Norman Martin
