This came yesterday from the office of Darcy Burner for Congress. One of our students, Sam H Kussin-Shoptaw '09, is already working for them. Sam says that "the internship is going great! Its a bit of a time commitment, but I really enjoy my candidate. The office there is very well run and all of the regular volunteers have been mentioning it non-stop....So its pretty exciting and the work is fun if you're interested in seeing how campaigns are run."
It sounds like an invaluable experience.
Here are the details:
