Two specially selected students from Texas Tech's Davis College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources will be spending their fall semester working as interns in Washington, D.C. Running from August through December, the college's congressional intern program affords these students an opportunity to experience first-hand the government's day-to-day operations.
“Intern selections are always an exciting and difficult process,” said Program Manager for Academic & Student Programs Haley Hudson. “The program is one of the most unique student programs that the college has for our students.”
This year's Davis College Washington, D.C.-based fall interns include:
- Brayden Henry, a senior dual degree in agricultural & applied economics/general business major from Crowell, Texas (U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-TX 13th District)
- Caroline Leach, a senior agricultural communications major from Sedona, Arizona (U.S. House Committee on Agriculture)
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.
