Three specially-selected students from Texas Tech's Davis College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources are spending their summer working as interns in Washington, D.C. Running from May through August, the college's congressional intern program affords these students an opportunity to experience first-hand the government's day-to-day operations.

This summer’s Washington, D.C.-based interns include:

• Cassady Craddock, a senior animal science major from Howe, Texas (U.S. Representative August Pfluger, R-TX 11th District)
• Kaitlyn Neal, a senior agricultural communications major from Las Cruces, New Mexico (U.S. Representative Yvette Herrell, R-NM 2nd District)
• Claire Shelton, a senior agribusiness major from Krum, Texas (U.S. Representative Michael Burgess, R-TX 26th District)

Davis College interns live in the 'Tech House' during their stay in Washington D.C., which is located just over a block away from the Capitol Building. Their living expenses are offset through scholarships from generous donors.
