- January 26, 2015
Cal State East Bay students interested in gaining experience in public service, law, business, politics and research are encouraged to apply for a 2015 Panetta Congressional Internship. The deadline to apply is Thursday, Feb. 19.
Students in all majors who have strong academic records and a commitment to public service are invited to apply.
Summer 2015 will mark the 17th year of the program in which students learn firsthand about the U.S. Congress by working in Congress. The program kicks off Aug. 9 with two weeks of training at the Panetta Institute for Public Policy in Monterey, Calif., and continues in Washington, D.C., until Nov. 6.
All expenses are paid, including airfare, tuition, food and housing, and student interns also earn 20 academic credits upon completion of the 13-week program.
While in Washington, D.C., interns attend special seminars held exclusively for Panetta Institute interns, in addition to working in the office of a U.S. Representative from the California delegation.
Qualified candidates must be a junior or senior at the beginning of fall 2015 and must demonstrate superior academic achievement, excellent oral communication skills, maturity, and leadership abilities. Applicants must be a California resident and a U.S. citizen.
Application materials are due to the Office of the President, Cal State East Bay, by Feb. 19. For a complete list of qualifications, requirements and necessary documents, including an application, transcripts, current resume, essay, and more, go online to:
