The Office of Congressman Tim Huelskamp is now accepting applications for the Fall 2012 internship program in the Washington, D.C. and Salina, Dodge City, and Hutchinson, Kansas offices.

�??I encourage college students or recent graduates who want to learn firsthand how Congress operates and how federal legislation affects Kansas to apply,�?� Congressman Huelskamp said. �??This is a unique experience in which to obtain greater understanding of the legislative process and constituent services.�?�

Interns may be asked to complete a variety of tasks, including day-to-day office work such as answering phones, writing letters, and assisting with media clips. In addition, interns may be assigned to assist with constituent casework or attend Congressman Huelskamp�??s public events throughout the First District.

Students will be given flexible hours to accommodate their course schedules, but hours in the Kansas offices generally run from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This is an unpaid internship.
