“The Pierre Legislative Internship

developed a number of crucial

skills in me.

I became more

meticulous with my work product and

enhanced my communication skills

because of the constant interactions.”

Senior business management major

“Although I had a good understanding

of the legislative process,

I am

gaining a deeper understanding of

the process and the inner workings

of state government.

I also really

enjoy getting to know people.”

minor in accounting

“The best part of my internship

was simply just seeing the

legislative process in action.

It was

a wonderful experience and gave me

a better appreciation for the process

and those who make our laws.”

“Besides educating me on what

exactly my government does, which

would be beneficial to anyone going

into business, this experience has and

will continue to be a great networking

opportunity.

I’ve met so many

people from across the state, and

these people have the opportunity

to connect me with further

individuals – making my network

web ever growing.”
